Jay Leno’s Garage recently delved into the fascinating history of a 1965 Ford Mustang, a car with a unique connection to the 1964-1965 World’s Fair in New York. This particular Mustang was one of 24 used in the Ford Pavilion’s iconic “Magic Skyway” ride.
Joining Leno on the show was Ford archivist Ted Ryan, who shared intriguing details about the car’s history. He explained that the Mustang’s inclusion in the World’s Fair was a strategic move by Ford to showcase the car to a massive audience and cement its place in automotive history.
Before Jay Leno took the car for spin, they also discussed the car’s technical specifications, its impact on popular culture, and the marketing strategies that helped it become a cultural icon as well as the car’s legacy.
