Ford Mustang: Why This Muscle Car Survived While Others Died
The Mustang was the original pony car. That’s why they’re called pony cars. Some versions, like those made by Shelby, are definitely muscle cars. But most Mustangs aren’t muscle cars.

Roadside Recovery
She'd had a lovely day. It was not often that she did lunch anymore. There was something about eating out in the middle of the day that spoke of leisure and luxury.
