Its story
The iconic 1964 Ford Mustang, also known as the “1964½ Mustang,” revolutionized the automotive industry upon its introduction in 1964. Designed to appeal to young buyers, its sleek two-door body and wide range of customization options made it an instant sensation.
With its powerful V6 and V8 engines, the Mustang offered a thrilling driving experience. Its appearance in the 1964 James Bond film “Goldfinger” further solidified its status as a cultural icon.
Over the decades, the Mustang has evolved, but its core essence remains unchanged: a powerful, stylish, and affordable sports car. The 1964 Mustang, in particular, is a highly sought-after collector’s car, a testament to its enduring legacy and its role in shaping American automotive history.

Driving the Ford Mustang
This Mustang is a convertible from the very first series, the car that created the pony car class in spring 1964. It is effortless to drive: automatic gearbox, a V8 that burbles at low revs and pulls hard when you push, and soft suspension that prefers cruising to tight corners. The big thin-rimmed wheel and light steering ask for a little planning in hairpins, nothing more. Its real strength is space. There are four seats, a rear bench that two adults can enjoy on a day out, and a boot that swallows beach bags with ease. Top down, elbow on the door, it is the car for groups of friends and families who want to share the drive rather than wave from a two-seater.
Where to drive it
From Cannes, roll slowly down the Croisette, then follow the coast through Mandelieu-la-Napoule and Théoule-sur-Mer onto the Corniche d'Or. The road weaves between the red rocks of the Estérel and the deep blue sea, past Le Trayas and Anthéor to Agay. It is pure widescreen scenery, made for a sixties American convertible. Allow about 30 km each way and a swim stop in one of the coves.
