			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When the innovative and trendsetting Ford Mustang automobile legend was introduced to the market, nobody expect its extraordinary increase in sales and fame to automobile enthusiast. It was Jon Najjar and Robert Eggert responsible to make them happened. Ford Motor Company introduced Mustang at the New York World&#8217;s Fair in April 17, 1964. Mustang was new design base on the combination of Thunderbird and Ford Falcon.Under the leadership of Ford Company president Robert McNamara Ford had pioneered such concepts as automobile safety and the conceptual marketing of &#8220;economy cars&#8221; rather than the &#8220;big boats&#8221; that the market leader G.M. ( General Motors) was famous for. The Ford Falcon was Ford&#8217;s very successful economy car model. Essentially the Mustang was built on this proven platform. Ford&#8217;s costs and time needed to bring the Mustang to market were little in comparison to a totally brand new product. Production problems as well were not an issue. Hence Ford could readily introduce a very reasonably and low priced sporty product for &#8220;60&#8217;s&#8221; generation and ramp up production in a snap.</p>
<p>After the introduction of its first release in April 17, 1964, Mustang had a new look when Larry Shinoda joined the company. His venture to Ford Company gave way to Sports Roof Mustang models that has three-tail lamps for better rear view vision. In the decade of the 1970&#8217;s, Ford created heavier and bigger version of Mustang autos. It uses Knudsen design having Torino or Fairline sheet metal. Unfortunately, this model didn&#8217;t last long in the market because most customers preferred fuel miles per gallon gasoline saving cars. On the other hand, Mustang 351 Cleveland was the most popular car during this year due to its special features like hidden shield wrappers, bolt-on faade, wraparound instrumentation, and incredible engine.</p>
<p>After joining Ford Company, Larry Shinoda and other GM Engineers conceptualized Mustang&#8217;s next model. Sports Roof has an amazing sporty design but cheaper in cost. This model used three-element tail-lamps for enhance vision while on the road specifically at the rear. The next mustang produced during the 1970&#8217;s was heavier and larger. It uses Torino / Fairline sheetmetal foundation base on Knudsen&#8217;s plan. However, it didn&#8217;t stay long in the market because there was more demand in safety and fuel economy cars. Ford produced amazing models like Boss 351, 429 Cobra Jet and 351 Cleveland. However, 351 C became more prominent due to its hidden wind shield wipers, wraparound instrumentation, modular bolt-in dash board, bolt-on facade, and amazing engine.</p>
<p>King Cobra was the enhanced model of Mustang II. It didn&#8217;t become more popular than its origin because Ford immediately introduced the 1979 models with Fox platform. The interior can accommodate four people at the rear sit, bigger trunk, as well as the engine. In addition, it was used in the Indianapolis 500 Pace Car which result Ford to produce another 10,000 replicas.</p>
<p>During the 1990&#8217;s, Fox 4 models became popular though it&#8217;s heavier and under-power. This is also the same era when 4.6L SOHC and DOHC V-8s models were used in the GT and SVT Cobra. The 2005 SN197 is believed the safest car of Ford with three-link suspension and axle. Finally, 2010 models will be soon released for public viewing. No doubt about it the Ford Mustang automobile line was both an innovator and trend setter in the automotive marketing marketplace.</p>

<p>Do you own an antique car? Then you are no doubt aware of how much money and time can be put into such a car. It is a wise choice to protect this investment with specialized car insurance. However, unlike most auto insurance, antique car insurance has more demanding restrictions and is more difficult to qualify for.</p>
<p>Research Your Options</p>
<p>Before you sign up for new car insurance, take the necessary time to assess the reputation of the various agencies. Not all insurance agencies are created equal and you can learn a lot about a company by the experiences of other customers. Try checking out websites that have information on various agencies or ask around. There might be antique care groups in your area that have a wealth of knowledge available.</p>
<p>Each company is different, but many antique car insurance companies have more strict requirements for potential cars. For instance, if you have added new parts to your antique car then it may no longer be eligible. It is important to check with the company to see if your car can be covered.</p>
<p>If you have a car that has many new parts then you may have to shop around for insurance. Luckily it is common to replace upholstery and glass in antique cars and many agencies understand this. If you have a good understanding of your car&#8217;s history then you should be able to find the right insurance. </p>
<p>Another point to consider when choosing an antique car insurance provider is that many of these companies require your car to be stored inside a garage. You may not be able to keep it outside. Additionally, some companies will give you a quota of miles you can drive on the car. For many people these restrictions can be too limiting. If you plan on using your antique car as your main driving car then you may find it difficult to find an antique car insurance provider.</p>
<p>In addition, many antique car insurance companies will expect you to have your car appraised and photographed for their records. They might also demand that any driver be at least 25 years old and have a clean record.</p>
<p>With so many constraints, finding the right antique car insurance policy can seem like a daunting task. Fortunately there are many different companies out there and several of them will likely provide the right service for you. Remember to research the policies before you purchase because you don&#8217;t want to get stuck with a policy that won&#8217;t work for you.</p>
