Over 50 years of work and improvement came to a head recently for Ford, when its 10 millionth Mustang rolled off the assembly line. Knowing well in advance which car was going to get this designation, Ford chose to pay a tribute to the first production Mustang, a white convertible with a V-8 engine and manual transmission.
Naturally, the company celebrated the recent milestone at its Dearborn, Michigan headquarters, and Flat Rock assembly plant. This included a parade of Mustang from every generation that made the drive from Dearborn to Flat Rock, and even a flyover from three P-51 Mustang fighter planes.
Ford adds that this long history also marks a long period of success for the company, being the world’s best-selling sports car for a number of years, as well as the top-selling sports car in the country over the last 50 years. One can only wonder what type of changes and innovations the original pony car will bring in the future.
“Mustang is the heart and soul of this company and a favorite around the world,” said Jim Farley, Ford’s head of global markets, in a release. “I get the same thrill seeing a Mustang roll down a street in Detroit, London, or Beijing that I felt when I bought my first car—a 1966 Mustang coupe that I drove across the country as a teenager. Mustang is a smile-maker in any language.”
