The Ford Mustang will celebrate its 50th anniversary on April 17, 2014, and to mark this important event, the Blue Oval has launched a new online weekly video series called the “Mustang Countdown”. The series reveals the stories behind its most famous model and how it has influenced people all over the world.
The first videos released include a behind-the-scenes look at the Mustang 1 concept, the build of the 1 millionth Mustang at Flat Rock Assembly Plant and the way the Mustang has influenced the toy industry, among others. Future episodes will cover restomods, racing, custom Mustangs, video games and more, all featuring unique and rare footage, exclusive new interviews and expert insight.
The series debuts with the video called “Where It All Started: The Mustang 1 Concept”, which takes us back in time for the 1962 debut of the study that gave birth to the Mustang legend.
There’s also a video entitled “RC Movie Magic: Filming a Chase”, which introduces us to the creation of “The Cliché RC Action Chase” video that went viral earlier this year racking up nearly 3 million views on YouTube.
