Diego Rosenberg

Lead Writer Diego Rosenberg is a native of Wilmington, Delaware and Princeton, New Jersey, giving him plenty of exposure to the charms of Carlisle and Englishtown. Though his first love is Citroen, he fell for muscle cars after being seduced by 1950s finned flyers—in fact, he’s written two books on American muscle. But please don’t think there is a strong American bias because foreign weirdness is never far from his heart. With a penchant for underground music from the 1960-70s, Diego and his family reside in the Southwest.

I think Chris has the answer with named after animals. The Mustang was originally named after the P51 Mustang airplane but I think by the time it went to market it all about the horse.

There was also a diesel version. Prone to overheating & blowing head gaskets – at least in FL, where I lived back then. You were to set head clearance/compression by selecting one of a selection of different thickness head gaskets. Only problem with that was about 3 out of 5 left the factory with the thickest one installed……..No room to surface the head, new head was the only fix.
