Mustang

The Mustang (1964) is a notable addition to the Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company's lineup. This electro-mechanical pinball machine features two flippers, a pop bumper, scoring bumpers, slingshots, stand-up targets, and a revolving target carousel. The left and right kickback outlanes add another layer of challenge to the game.

The Mustang's gameplay is centered around navigating the ball through a straightforward design, but with a focus on quick reflexes due to the limited flippers. This emphasis on timing and spatial awareness sets it apart from other machines of its era. The machine's car culture theme is reflected in its artwork, featuring depictions of vintage automobiles.

Not much is known about designers Al Schlappa and Jerry Koci beyond their contributions to this specific game; the backglass and playfield art were previously credited to Roy Parker, but that attribution has since been withdrawn for lack of supporting evidence. An add-a-ball version of this game was also released by Chicago Coin in 1964.
