2015 Ford Mustang 50 Year Limited Edition

The Ford Mustang and its symbol is one of the most recognizable in the automobile marketplace.  This year marks a special installment as it marks the 50 year anniversary of the Mustang.  The original Mustang was introduced in April of 1964 as a mid-year introduction, but 1965 was the first full model year.  This marks a very big celebration for Ford.  This years’ installment is also going to be the first one marketed all over the world.

Ford plans to celebrate this momentous occasion by making 1,964 of the special 50 Year Mustangs.  The final one will be auctioned in September and all proceeds from that auction will go to the Edith and Benson Ford Heart & Vascular Institute.  This just shows how Ford is committed to giving back to the community and charities alike.  This will be done in Las Vegas at the Barrett Jackson Auto Auction September 25th through the 27th.  They are estimating a potential of over $250,000 in proceeds.  The winner will also get airfare, hotel accommodations and VIP passes to the Ford Eco Boost 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup in Miami on November 16th.
“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.”
