Here is an interesting fact that a lot of people may or may not know about the Mustang emblem. Before the first Mustang was produced, the original emblem was drawn with the horse galloping from left to right just like the way horses race on a track. The change was made with the horse going from right to left after Lee Iacocca said that 'the Mustang is a wild horse, not a domesticated racer'. The certified well known symbol that is perfectly centered on top of the striking hot cherry red handle is a distinct sign of another classic all American sports car.
