One of the more popular vehicles we sell at Faulkner-Ciocca Ford Mercury is the venerable Ford Mustang. While this model has existed for nearly five decades, the Mustang isn’t showing signs of its age. Instead, it remains a stylish and exciting vehicle that is as relevant today as it was when Ford first introduced it in 1964. Modern Mustangs have all of the features you want in a car but also provide a nod to tradition via a unique combination of current design sensibilities and the traditional styling that has made the Mustang such a popular vehicle during its 46-year history.
