Today Ford celebrated the production of the 10 millionth Ford Mustang at its Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan. The 10 millionth Mustang to roll off the production line is a 2019 Mustang GT that’s painted in Wimbledon White, which is the same color as the first serialized Mustang produced.
“Mustang is the heart and soul of this company and a favorite around the world,” said Jim Farley, president of global markets, Ford Motor Company. “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.”
