Which automaker manufactures the Ford Mustang?

The Ford Mustang is manufactured by Ford Motor Company.

Ford introduced the Mustang in April 1964 as a sporty, relatively affordable coupe and convertible based partly on existing Ford components. Its long-hood, short-deck styling helped create the “pony car” category, a market segment built around compact dimensions, sporty appearance, and accessible pricing.

The Mustang’s first-generation launch was an extraordinary success. Ford had expected annual sales of roughly 100,000 cars, but demand greatly exceeded that forecast. The nameplate has remained in continuous production since 1964 and is now in its seventh generation.

A common mix-up is confusing the manufacturer with Ford’s luxury division, Lincoln, or with General Motors, which produced the competing Chevrolet Camaro. The Mustang is a Ford-branded vehicle, although Ford has used different factories, engines, and affiliated operations to build various generations over time.
