Ford Mustang History and Development 1995 - Mustang GT and GTS

Mustangs are one of the world’s most recognized and purchased vehicles. Their popularity has never been questioned and it is hardly uncommon to come across a person who says that they want to either own a Mustang or have owned a Mustang. Mustangs are usually equated with a sporty and virile lifestyle-the epitomes of “hotness” as it were. While the history of the Ford Mustang spans some forty odd years, this article will focus primarily on the years 1995.

In 1995, a one-year only model, which was commonly called the Mustang GTS, was introduced. The Mustang GTS was considered by experts to be a “stripped down” version of the popular Mustang GT. It continued to feature the performance aspects of the Mustang GT but had only the smallest number of non-performance-based parts. This model included removing Mustang GT options like the leather seating, fog lights, a compact disc player, and power accessories. The vehicle was considered by many to be a “throw back” to the Mustang LXs of the pre-SN-95 time.
