Flat Rock Produces The First 2015 Mustang.

Last Thursday August 28th 2014 was a big day in the history of the Ford Mustang, especially for the hardworking dedicated UAW local workers at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan as production of the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang officially commenced. The all new sixth-generation Mustang as everyone probably already knows is a global release in over 120 countries. Something new for the workers to get used to on the assembly line with this new Mustang production will be the assembly of the right hand drive vehicles. Production is starting to ramp up and sales will kick off at dealer worldwide in the upcoming months.
"Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas, said in a statement. "Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience – one unlike any other." "What an honor it is for the hardworking and dedicated UAW Local 3000 workers of Flat Rock Assembly Plant to build the next-generation Mustang," Jimmy Settles, a UAW vice president, said. "I don't think there is any place in the world where this vehicle is not known. To build it right here in Michigan is something to be proud of."

The Final Limited Edition 50 Year Mustang To Be Auctioned

The Final Limited Edition 50 Year Mustang To Be Auctioned

As expected the final production vehicle of the special limited production 50th anniversary 2015 Ford Mustang (#1964 of 1964) will be auctioned off at an upcoming Barrett Jackson auction to be held in LAs Vegas, Nevada on September 25-27
“Ford Mustang inspires passion like no other car,” said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development. “The visceral look, sound and performance of Mustang resonates with people, even if they’ve never driven one. Mustang is definitely more than just a car – it is the heart and soul of Ford Motor Company.”
That makes it all the more fitting that this final production Limited Edition 50th anniversary Mustang car will be auctioned as part of the annual Get Your Heart Racing program to raise funds for Edith and Benson Ford Heart & Vascular Institute at Henry Ford Hospital.
Each limited-edition car features a plaque on the instrument panel engraved with a serial number and the signature of Ford Motor Company Executive Chairman Bill Ford. But this final and very special Mustang No. 1,964 will have something a little different it will be customized into a one-of-one pace car package that includes the signatures of other Ford executives. The car will be revealed publicly for the first time at the Get Your Heart Racing Pit Party sponsored by Crest Automotive Group, Sept. 12 at Eastern Market in Detroit.
We are not sure which day this last of the limited edition Ford Mustangs will cross the auctioners block at the Barrett Jackson Auction in Las Vegas as the final information has not been released yet, but we will let you know when we hear any updates.
Ford also announced that they are also including a Pace car package with this car, which we are sure will make it very collectible for the future. The car will be turned into the official pace car for the Ford Ecoboost 400 NASCAR Spring Cup race next year and the winning bidder will receive a VIP package to attend the event and watch as his or her new vehicle leads the racing field, who knows they may even be able to ride shotgun.
