Ford brings 2015 Mustang to the 86th floor of the Empire State Building

Ford celebrating 50 years of production

DETROIT – Ford is gearing up to celebrate the 50 year anniversary of the Mustang. To celebrate, Ford is re-creating the same feat it achieved 50 years ago -- unveiling a mustang on the world's most famous attraction, the Empire State Building.

The 2015 Ford Mustang convertible will be on display on the observation deck of the Empire State Building in New York. The display – replicating the same feat from nearly 50 years ago – coincides with the global celebration of 50 years since Mustang debuted at the 1964 World's Fair in New York.

"New York is one of the greatest cities in the world, and it's the place where the Ford Mustang story began 50 years ago," said Mark Fields, Ford chief operating officer. "We're thrilled to be visiting the architectural landmark that has been the heart of the Manhattan skyline for 83 years with the newest generation of the car that is the soul of Ford Motor Company."

Visitors to the Empire State Building observation deck can see the new Mustang convertible from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m., April 16-17.

"It is a privilege to celebrate the new Ford Mustang, to bring together our two iconic brands, and to make new history with Ford," said Empire State Realty Trust Chairman, President and CEO Anthony E. Malkin. "The Empire State Building and Ford Mustang are both historic innovators – today, as in the past."
