    Mustang intro at World’s Fair

    Look at the ride height. It is 2 or 3” lower than how the cars were delivered in production trim. A little bait & switch by Ford’s marketing team?

    It was loaded down with sales brochures!

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    It looks like the car is in the air on a central pole, and it was probably rotating. That would leave the suspension hanging, so I bet they chained it in the up position, but got it a little too far.  My car is pretty low. That thing is REALLY LOW.

    I think the rear is too low, but I agree it was probably on a stand with wheels tied up. I was there but don't remember. We didn't have much back then, I remember mom and dad talking about gong there and sleeping in the car. Don't remember the car either, probably a wagon.

    If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.

    I’m sure the young engineer’s made it look that way.
    That would have been low.
    Sure looks cool.😎

    I think they did it so being up on that platform it would look pretty level. Very  awesome day in history wish I was born then and could've witnessed it in person. March 1990 I was born just a few years off.

    I like it  but like everything.  Ford was just trying to show people what they could do.  Lol
