Therefore, the question that remains unanswered is: “Was it caused by a human factor as a misleading or as a marketing ploy?” It is interesting to note the fact of coincidence of the world film premiere of the sports drama “Ford v Ferrari”, where the cult car Ford GT40 is mentioned, which serves as additional advertising of the company.

Mustang cars found popularity among motorists around the world, and have repeatedly become leaders in sales in the United States. Besides, the presence of the Mustangs in several movies of the 60-90s brought additional fame as a fast, productive, stylish and relatively inexpensive vehicle to them.
