SEE ALL 91 PHOTOS

 

Obviously, the 1974 Mustang II is the Car of the Year. In the beginning it seemed as if there were a handful of other solid contenders, but at the end, the realities of the time, the car's outstanding value and economy decided the issue. You see, the mustang II, above everything else, is a genuinely good automobile.

So, our annual award goes to the Ford Division for the introduction of the 1974 Mustang II, an outstanding concept of affordable luxury and prestige in a small package. Motor Trend's selection of the Mustang II as the Car of the Year for 1974 was, for the first time in many years, a somewhat effortless decision.
