    I haven’t seen Ford Mustangs slithering down the road or rearing up and striking either.

    Stranger still

    If you must know. The car was named for the plane which was named for the horse.

    ... And the naming after the plane was rejected...

    Different people also invariably have unique interpretations of the same events. In his book “Mustang Genesis,” author Bob Fria quotes designer John Najjar:

    R.H. Bob Maguire, my boss, and I were looking through a list of names for the car. I had been reading about the P-51 Mustang airplane and suggested the name Mustang in remembrance of the P-51, but Bob thought the name as associated with the airplane was too ‘airplaney’ and rejected that idea. I again suggested the same name Mustang, but this time with a horse association because it seemed more romantic. He agreed and we together selected that name right on the spot, and that’s how it got its name.

    From “Mustang Genesis: The Creation of the Pony Car” by Robert A. Fria

    Found from Ford Motor Company. They should know ;)
