SAE Paper 611F (1963): The Mustang - Ford's Experimental Sports Car by R.C. Lunn

This image shows the front cover of a Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) technical paper titled "The Mustang — Ford's Experimental Sports Car," authored by R. C. Lunn of Ford Motor Company. The paper carries the SAE document number 611F and was presented at the SAE Automotive Engineering Congress and Exposition held January 14-18, 1963, in Detroit, Michigan. The cover bears the SAE triangular logo and the publisher's address: Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc., 485 Lexington Avenue, New York 17, N.Y. From this cover a reader learns the paper's title, author, corporate affiliation, SAE paper number, and the venue and dates of its presentation. The document itself is an engineering paper describing Ford's experimental Mustang sports car (the Mustang I concept) as presented to the engineering community in early 1963, before the production Mustang was introduced. No technical content, specifications, diagrams, or tables are visible on this cover page — it is purely the title page of the paper. The scan appears to be a photograph of an original printed booklet with a faded label or tape mark in the upper-left corner.
