Say Hello To The 10 Millionth Ford Mustang
Ford has now made an astonishing 10 million Mustangs, and the company just revealed the 10 millionth example of the sports car at a big bash in Michigan. The celebration - held outside the Flat Rock Assembly Plant where the car is currently manufactured - featured 60 Mustangs from various eras, neatly arranged to display ‘10,000,000’ when viewed from above. We’ll award extra Internet points for including the commas.
The icing on the cake? That’d be a fly-past featuring three P-51 Mustang fighter planes. Murica, etc.
As for the 10 millionth car itself, the 2019 model year Mustang is a Wimbledon White GT convertible, mirroring the spec of VIN 001 - the “first serialized 1964.5 Ford Mustang”. Unlike that car though, which has its 163bhp V8 hooked up to a three-speed automatic, the 464bhp 5.0-litre lump in Mustang number 10 million is mated to a six-speed manual.
Speaking about the milestone, Jim Farley, Ford’s global market boss, had this to say:
“Mustang is the heart and soul of this company and a favorite around the world…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.”
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Anyone else spot where 10 millionth example was on the aerial photo?
As much as I give a congrats to Ford and the Mustang, I still never forgive them for ceasing the sale of the Focus ST and RS in the states.
Youd think Ford would make it look special other than slap a sticker on it.
You mean other than the fact that its the same as the first mustang? Thats what makes it special
now all we need is the 10 millionth focus oh wait ford made another bad decision
Hello
And then It will be crashed soon
Hello
How many people sacrificed themselves for that corralled photo?
Good lord the comments section is a sh!t show. Political arguments, people arguing over who made the better milestone video or whatever… How about you appreciate that the Mustang HAS hit such a huge milestone and is a massive part of not just American history but of automotive history world over! Absolutely stunning!
