FINALIZING THE FOX
Ford stylist Jack Telnack’s influence was strongly felt with the all-new ’79 Mustang, shown here in summer
1976. Just over three years before hitting the showrooms, the revolutionary new generation of Mustang had
taken final shape. Details like window frames, moldings, light configuration, and badging — typically the last
thing to be finalized — were yet to be worked out. Although the ’79 Mustang was introduced after the Fairmont,
the Mustang was developed before the Fairmont, making it a rebodied Mustang, not vice-versa.
