You're right, it's not a Mustang, but back in the day it was dang-near as fast as one! The press deemed it, "The Mustang with a Bed", and when the original Ford Lightning hit the streets back in 1993, it was the king of the muscle trucks.
We've all got our top-10 favorite Mustangs, but what about famous car collectors like Jay Leno? Ever wondered what someone with deep pockets thinks is the bee's knees in the form of Mustangs?
It has "epic," written all over it: Steve Miller Band is playing in the background and there's a running Mustang (horse) and the new-for-1979 Ford Mustang rolling down the road. The commercial uses such catchphrases as; "dramatic sports-car styling", "one of the most efficient aerodynamic designs of any car now built in America", and "feel it slice through the wind." Wow.
