Ford will unveil a special edition 60th anniversary package for the Mustang at an event at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Wed. April 17 -- the 60th birthday of the Mustang.
Ford Motor Co. is celebrating the Mustang's 60th anniversary on Wednesday when it will unveil a special edition of the classic pony car to commemorate its legacy. In honor of the Mustang, which made its debut at the 1964 New York World's Fair, Ford is holding an event at Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina.
Our design team looked at the past a lot on this to pick up on cues with red badging, really some nods to what you would have seen at the New York World's Fair in 1964," Bellino said. "So bringing some of that classic Mustang style but putting it on a new 2024 car which is super cool. You'll see different badging that represents that, some exterior pieces that harken back to it.
It will also have a new grille with a mesh design as a callback to the original Mustang that's modernized with silver-accented nostrils that also serve as functional air intakes for the 5.0-liter V8 engine.
The Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary package will be a limited edition with just 1,965 being manufactured as a nod to the first official model year of the car. It will be available to order this summer and is set to reach dealerships around the country in the fourth quarter of this year. Pricing will be available closer to the on-sale date.
