The Mustang, a rock'n'roll myth

Published the 02/02/22

A grey 1965 Ford Mustang moves slowly, like in a video clip. At its wheel, Yarol Poupaud, a true French guitar hero. For this six-string ace, rock'n'roll is not limited to a musical show under the spotlight. Rock has been a part of him since he was a child. Rock, for Yarol, is not a posture, but a true art of living. To the point of adopting all the codes, including those related to the mechanical thing. So when it comes to buying a family car to take his gear to rehearsals or his family to the country, he chooses the unavoidable American icon: an authentic Ford Mustang from the sixties! 

A popular car that became a movie star, with more than 500 films to its credit, the Mustang was originally conceived as a family and economic car. However, the Mustang's killer looks and 289 cubic inch V8 soon made it the darling of tuners. Starting with Carol Shelby, who transformed the reasonable Pony car into a real muscle car. Sold in more than ten million units, the Mustang symbolizes the American dream and still blows today this wind of rock'n'roll straight from the USA. 

Michaël Levivier, author and photographer, has published an enormous 240-page book in honor of this automobile star. Throughout the pages, enthusiasts, amateurs or professionals, reveal their love for the Mustang. Starting with Yarol who signs the preface!
