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

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. 

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

2015 Ford Mustang is Headed to the Top

WESTLAND, Mich - The 2015 Ford Mustang is Headed to the Top, the top of the Empire State Building that is. In celebration of a milestone birthday, the Ford Mustang will re-create an special event that is also having a 50 year anniversary. The 2015 Ford Mustang will be placed on display on the observation deck of the Empire State Building in New York City. On April 16-17, the Mustang will celebrate 50 years since the Mustang debuted at the 1964 World's Fair in New York. 

2015 Ford Mustang is Headed to the Top
The all-new 2015 Ford Mustang is Headed to the Top of the Empire State Building, 86 stories to be exact. Mind you, taking a vehicle up to such heights is no easy task. There is no crane that can reach an 86 story building and the spire towering above the narrow observation deck makes helicopter delivery impossible. So how do they do it 50 years ago? Elevators, that's how. A prototype Mustang convertible was cut into three pieces, plus windshield, and placed in the elevators. So once again, Mustang engineers are "measuring twice and cutting once" to ensure that the Mustang will fit nicely within the Empire State Building's elevators. Once all of the pieces of the puzzle make it to the 86th floor, technicians will have less than six hours to reassemble the 2015 Ford Mustang. 

Empire State Building observation deck visitors can see the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang within a 54 hour time frame on April 16-17th from 8am to 2am. If you're looking for a car to take your driving to another level, stop by North Brothers Ford for an awesome deal on a Ford! We have a great variety of Used and Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles for you to see!  North Brothers Ford, located at 33300 Ford Rd Westland, MI 48185, is proud to be one of the premier dealerships in Southeast Michigan committed to exceptional customer service!

Leaked Photos 2015 Ford Mustang

Rumors and leaked pics surrounding 2015 Mustang


Photos of the 2015 Ford Mustang prototype have been spreading around the net after seemingly being leaked. The digital community has now had the opportunity to glimpse at the new sixth-generation design concept, which appears to combine some of the original Mustang styling with a rounded and more compact modernistic look.

The photos in question are of several unfinished clay models that easily could be the 2015 muscle car; featuring a design that seems on par with the design team that revamped the Fusion and won Best Styling at the Brand Image Awards. Another source of curiosity is how the vehicle will be powered—Ford Motor Company announced they will be selling the Mustang in Europe and this has opened the door to a discussion of a possible EcoBoost 4-cylinder Mustang. Bloggers speculate that a 6-cylinder will be the basic package and that the 4-cylinder would only be offered in Europe, if it is at all. The  2015 Ford Mustang will hit the market in 2014, with a good chance that the unveiling will be coordinated with Ford's 50th Anniversary of the Mustang in April 2014.
