Ford Reveals Limited-Edition "Mustang Unleashed" T-Shirt Line

WESTLAND, Mich - Ford Motor Company and five top fashion innovators from around the world came together to create a one-of-a-kind t-shirt line in light of the Mustang's 50th Anniversary. Ford has revealed the limited-edition "Mustang Unleashed" t-shirt line, which features 15 different shirt designs that embrace the adventure, freedom, power and passion behind the Ford Mustang. 

"Mustang Unleashed" celebrates the Mustang's influence on pop culture over the past 50 years through various forms of symbolism and style. Each of the five designers was able to create three Mustang-inspired t-shirts that embodied the personality of the iconic pony car with the addition of their own personal flair. This was the inspiration for each of their designs:

Anna Sui: As a Detroit native, Sui's designs have a rock 'n' roll twist to reflect the Mustang's freedom, authenticity and inspiration. Her designs show you can evolve while remaining true to your identity. 

Rogan Gregory and Scott Mackinlay-Hahn of Rogan: With much respect for minimalism and traditional quality, Rogan's inspiration came from the raw American heritage found within the modern, high-tech Mustang. This is featured in graphics of the shirt by the use of natural, hand-drawn lines.

Paula Cademartori: With a niche for femininity and fine details, Cademartori wanted to highlight geometric shapes, the fantasy of color and glamour and the idea of new experiences.

Tomaso Anfossi and Francesco Ferrari of CO|TE: Coming from a very contemporary point of view, CO|TE designs showcase the Mustang's attention to detail and various geometric elements. CO|TE wanted to show how the Mustang continues to evolve and move forward, without losing site of quality and tradition.

Pamela Love: Love was inspired by the Mustang's role in American pop culture and highlighted the idea of moving forward while leaving the past behind. Her design's emphasize the iconic horse as a symbol of power, strength and freedom.

Ford has revealed the limited-edition "Mustang Unleashed" look book, which you can find here. All of the t-shirts are made by Loomstate in the United States, using 100 percent organic cotton. Exclusive purchases can be made at www.gilt.com/unleashed, with pre-orders beginning on August 26th. Each limited-edition t-shirt will retail for $39.

Testing Begins on All-New Right-Hand-Drive Mustang

WESTLAND, Mich - The 2015 Ford Mustang will take power, capability and advanced technology to right-hand-drive markets around the world. Right-hand-drive customers, like those located in the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa, will soon be able to enjoy the infamous pony car as testing begins on the all-new right-hand-drive Mustang.

Ford has recently finished the first-ever, right-hand-drive sixth generation Mustang prototype and is preparing for the completion of various development tests. Ford plans to send the car out into the global market in the coming months, not too much longer after the Mustang goes on sale this fall in the United States. Roughly 120 countries will have access to the 2015 Ford Mustang as of next year, including 25 new right-hand-drive markets. 

One of North America's most beloved vehicles is making its way into the hearts of several other countries world-wide. Since the debut of the Ford Mustang in 1964, 161,000 Mustangs have been sold outside of North America. More than 4,000 Mustangs were sold in 2012 alone to 35 countries outside of North America, including locations from the United Arab Emirates to Chile.

Nutritious Ideas for Summer Snacking

WESTLAND, Mich - Pool parties, barbecues, trips to the beach, and days at the park. If you're enjoying summer as much as we are, your days have probably been filled with tons of outdoor activities!

We here to help you get back on track with some Nutritious Ideas for Summer Snacking that are simple and delicious. These snacks are so good, even the kids will love them!

Cucumber Hummus Cups: This is a no cook snack with two simple ingredients – cucumbers and hummus. Just cut a cucumber into 1/4 inch slices, scoop out the seeds if you prefer (but be sure to leave a thin layer so that the hummus won't go through the bottom), and then top with your favorite hummus!

"Healthy" Ice Cream Bars: These guilt-free "ice cream" bars are actually made with two frozen bananas! Blend the bananas until they are soft and creamy, spoon the mixture onto 2 graham crackers, and place in the freezer for 20-30 minutes. To keep them fun for summer, feel free to dip the sides in sprinkles or chocolate chips before freezing!

Cherry Lime Slurpee: This all-natural slurpee is a great compliment to a hot summer day. Blend up 1 pound of frozen cherries, 4 cups of ice, 1/4 cup of fresh lime juice, and 3 tablespoons of honey. Pour into glasses and enjoy!

Banana Pops: Get as creative as you would like with these banana pops dipped in greek yogurt, peanut butter, and dark chocolate! Some of our personal favorite toppings are granola, chocolate chips, crushed nuts, and shredded coconut!

Snack-Sticks: Kids will love this snack idea! Cut ingredients like carrots, celery, cheese, whole wheat bread and pretzels into sticks and pair with your favorite healthy dip!

Frozen Yogurt Raspberries: Dip fresh raspberries into vanilla greek yogurt, place on wax paper and freeze. It really can't get much easier than this!

Zucchini Chips: Forego those greasy potato chips and give these Zucchini Chips a try! With a few spices and 50 minutes in the oven, you'll have a crunchy and satisfying summer snack!
