1991 Ford Mustang Facts
In 1991, Ford made an attempt to revive the low sales numbers of the Ford Mustang with some changes to the model. The changes were too little and too late, however; the Ford Mustang experienced its lowest sales numbers in nine years with the 1991 model year. Despite dismal sales numbers, the Mustang retained an almost cult following and would rebound with future generations.

By 1991, the Mustang was 12 years into the sixth-generation, commonly refereed to as the Fox-body. After barely escaping the ax from the 1990 model lineup, the Mustang returned in 1991 with an increase in horsepower and new 16-inch wheels.
