Ford celebrated the production of its 10 millionth Mustang vehicle

FORD recently celebrated the production of its 10 millionth Mustang – America’s best-selling sports car of the last 50 years and the world’s best-selling sports car three years straight.

The 10 millionth Ford Mustang is a high-tech, 460 horsepower 2019 Wimbledon White GT V8 six-speed manual convertible equipped with the latest driver assist technology and built at Ford’s Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan. The first serialised Mustang (VIN 001) produced in 1964 was the same colour and model with a threespeed manual transmission and 164 horsepower V8.

‘Mustang is the heart and soul of this company and a favourite around the world,’ said Jim Farley, president of global markets, Ford Motor Company.

‘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.’

Mustang is America’s best-selling sports car over the last 50 years, based on Ford analysis of 1966-2018 total U.S. new vehicle cumulative registrations for all sports car segments supplied by IHS Markit. Last year, Mustang outsold the Porsche 911 in 13 European markets, including the UK and Spain. The leading five European markets for Mustang sales in 2017 were Germany, the UK, France, Belgium, and Sweden.
