#59 One Day, One Car
Today from The United States of America with a legendary car for centuries... 

The car? The **Ford Mustang GT 500KR Shelby**

For the first time, it was shown to the public in April  1964. The shown model is the first generation of Mustang, a Convertible version was released in 1968. 

When Caroll Shelby discovered this model, he could not resist improving the power from usual V6 to ...

7.0L V8 Cobra-jet 335 HP and added to GT 500 sign, "KR" standing for *"King of the Road"* ...it's still true...

*Did you know?* 

At the beginning, Ford couldn't use "Mustang" name in Germany because at that time the name was owned by Krupp and sold trucks under "Mustang".
