The sixth-generation 2015 Mustang came just in time for the pony’s 50th anniversary, and Ford celebrated the milestone by releasing a 50-Year Limited Edition pony equipped with a host of unique features. As 1964 also marked the Mustang’s debut as a pace car for the iconic Indy 500, the Blue Oval is now paying tribute to the Wimbledon White pony that led the pack 50 years ago with a special pace car. Based on the 50-Year model, which is limited at only 1,964 units, the Wimbledon White pace car makes its debut at the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series races during the Ford Championship Weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, between November 14th and 16th.
Specifically, the 50-Year Mustang pace car will lead the field to the green flag for the Ford EcoBoost 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on November 16th, 2014 and the Ford EcoBoost 300 NASCAR Nationwide Series race on November 15th, 2014. The V-8-powered muscle car will be driven by Mark Fields, president and chief executive officer of Ford, and John Felice, vice president of U.S. marketing sales and service, respectively.
The Wimbledon White ’Stang will be joined by the Race Red Mustang GT that paced the Quicken Loans 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on June 15th as the splitter pace car for the two races.
