The Mustang is a car made by Ford Motor Company that was introduced in 1964 & continues to be made today. The Mustang was notable for creating the "pony car" class - small, high performance, yet inexpensive sports cars.

Driver: You Are The Wheelman[]
In the intro movie, Tanner steals a 1966-1968 Ford Mustang Hardtop from a parking garage & evades the police using it. However, his starting in game car is a 1970 Buick Skylark. Despite this
Hybrid 1966 with 1968 Ford Mustang Hardtop and as seen on opening Driver 1
, the Mustang is featured elsewhere in the game (for example, as the "Take A Ride" option in the main menu) & the Skylark shares the same color as the Mustang, so it's likely that the Skylark is being used as a stand-in for the Mustang. The front grill is came from 1966 model but the body is resemble to 1968 model. This can be happen because the car part is interchangable.
