Yeah, about the Mustang... See post #3, page 1 of this thread.
LKF: During Ford's initial marketing sessions, the idea for naming the car the Mustang originated from the P-51 Mustang aircraft, not the wild horse. Logos, badges, image and copy-write considerations came into play, resulting in the horse symbol.
Mooney Aircraft also made a Mustang, the Mk.22 Mustang PC, (pressurized cabin). Introduced just a few months after the first Ford Mustang car. Unlike Ford, Mooney built only 36 Mustangs between 1965-1970, and again, unlike the Ford Mustang, the Mooney Mustang more or less bankrupted the company.
