Ford Tops 10 Million Pony Cars

This week Ford Motor Co built its 10 millionth Mustang since introducing the iconic model in 1964.

The milestone pony car galloped off the assembly line at Ford’s Flat Rock, Mich., manufacturing facility. Ford invited 60 Mustang owners, whose cars represented each model year of the vehicle, to participate in the celebration.

The parade of multi-generational Mustangs drove from Ford's Dearborn, Mich., headquarters to the Flat Rock plant, where the cars were arranged in a “10,000,000” pattern. The celebration also included a flyover from three World War II-era P-51 Mustang fighter planes.

The festivities were led by Jim Farley, president of Ford’s global markets. Farley says his first car was a 1966 Mustang coupe, which he drove across the country as a teenager.
