We are a little late to the party. Anyway, congrats to the Mustang for reaching 50.
Mustang convertible parked on the 86th floor, just as Blue Oval did in 1965.
As Ford celebrates the Mustang's 50th anniversary since its debut at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, the iconic pony car has reenacted one of its most dramatic performances: Parking on top of the Empire State Building.
Nearly 50 years ago when the original Mustang was the hottest new car on the market, Ford displayed a 1966 Mustang convertible on the 86th floor observation deck of the Empire State Building — the only car ever to reach that location — until today.
In addition to amazing views of Manhattan, visitors to the Empire State Building observation deck on April 16 and 17 will also see a bright yellow 2015 Mustang convertible.
On Wednesday morning, Bill Ford, Executive Chairman, Ford Motor Company and Anthony E. Malkin, Empire State Realty Trust Chairman, President and CEO were both on the observation deck of the Empire State Building to celebrate one of Ford’s most popular cars.
Despite all the innovation and new technology since the Mustang’s first visit to the Empire State Building, Ford engineers and partner DST Industries had to resort to old-school techniques to return the Mustang to the Manhattan skyline. They cut it up into pieces and took it up the elevator.
“The deck is too high to reach with a portable crane from the street, and the spire that towers more than 400 feet above that narrow deck makes helicopter delivery impossible,” explained George Samulski, manager, Ford North America design fabrication.
It took months of planning to work out the logistics for taking the new Mustang up the elevators to the observation level, but the crew only had six hours to reassemble the car. The observation deck doesn’t close until 2 a.m. and reopens at 8 a.m. In addition, that evening they also had to deal with late spring snow and gusty winds.
It was still chilly, but the sun was out when Wednesday morning visitors to the Empire State Building were greeted by a bright yellow 2015 Mustang

More than 750 Pony Cars Attend Europe’s Biggest Ever Mustang Gathering
Even though the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang is only the first generation to be officially sold in Europe, older Mustangs are not uncommon on European roads. However, it is a very special day when more than 750 Mustangs gather in one place in Europe.
The biggest ever gathering of Ford Mustangs in Europe thrilled fans and owners from across Europe who met on June 7-8 in Cologne, Germany, to celebrate 50 years of the iconic car and to witness the first unveiling of the new Ford Mustang in Germany.
The gathering took place at the European Mustang Convention near Ford of Europe’s headquarters in Cologne and included Mustang owners from Germany, UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, Denmark, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Czech Republic.
“The number of vehicles and size of the crowds at the European Mustang Convention reflect both the passion for Mustang that exists in Europe and heritage of this global motoring and cultural icon,” said Joerg Beyer, executive engineering director, Ford of Europe “Ford is honored that the Mustang community has chosen to celebrate the car’s 50th anniversary just a stone’s throw from our European headquarters,” he added.
The event also included Concours d’Elegance judging, technical workshops, and the opportunity to win a vintage Mustang by participating in a raffle.
The new Mustang goes on sale in Europe in 2015 as a Fastback and Convertible, with two available engines: a new turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost producing more than 309PS (305hp) and 407 Nm (300 lb-ft) of torque and a 5.0-liter V8 with more than 426PS (420hp) and 529 Nm (390 lb-ft) of torque.

Active Glovebox Knee Airbag Equips 2015 Ford Mustang
In the last decade or so, automobile safety systems have come a long way since the driver-passenger airbag setup was the industry standard. Now we've got head-up displays and buttons on the steering wheel to keep our eyes on the road more, emergency braking function at city speeds, autonomous cruise control for highway driving and other hi-tech bits and bobs unimaginable a few years ago. In spite of the rapid advancement of in-car safety technology, the 2015 Ford Mustang introduces an industry-first: the active glovebox knee airbag.
Basically, the Blue Oval's new contraption is raising the bar for passenger safety by providing inflatable restraint protection in a way more compact package than the traditional knee airbag. Tightly packed inside the glovebox door, the all-new design provides protection for the front seat passenger while reducing size and weight to provide better knee room. Best thing of all? According to officials, the innovative airbag will be introduced later this year as a standard safety feature on the heavily anticipated 2015 Ford Mustang. At this moment we presume that a big question mark is bothering you, so let's get on with it and go through how this thing actually works.
The system consists of a pliable, injection-molded inflatable plastic bladder sandwiched between the inner and outer glovebox door panels. After vehicle impact is detected by the crash sensor system, the inflator fills the bladder, extending the entire glovebox outer panel toward the front passenger's legs. Once the bladder is deployed, the outer door helps the passenger's knees by providing a cushion in a manner similar to a traditional airbag.
Despite being 65 percent lighter and 75 percent smaller than a conventional airbag, the active glovebox knee airbag doesn't have to travel as far as a traditional unit, which deploys toward the floor before it curves upward. Also, the glovebox door distributes the impact load over a larger area, translating to a much better protection of the passenger's knees. Since development started on the new system, Ford has been granted 15 U.S. patents.
Compared to the outgoing model, the 2015 Ford Mustang will feature eight airbags as standard, twice as many as the 2014 model year. The fastback adds two side curtain airbags while the rag-top Stang gets a seat-mounted head airbag on both sides. New anchor-side safety belt pretensioning capability and a steering column that can adapt stiffness properties are also there to keep you out of harm's way in a variety of potential crash situations.
“We provide a high level of safety, quality and design for our customers and their passengers,” declared Sean West, Ford restraints manager (didn't know this job existed). “With this innovative airbag, we have developed technology that provides protection for vehicle occupants while also reducing weight and enabling greater design flexibility.”

2015 Saleen 302 Mustang Shows Its Face
The 2015 Ford Mustang still has some time before it’s on sale in dealerships, but you can bet that all of the aftermarket companies are well into the development of specially tuned versions of the car. As proof, look no further than the 2015 Saleen 302 Mustang.
Saleen released its first official image of the all-new Saleen 302 Mustang, and while the head-on shot doesn’t reveal much about the car, it definitely gives us plenty to look forward to. We can see plenty of familiar Saleen cues in the face of this 302 Mustang including the blacked-out grille, massive hood scoop and the unique fins in the lower fascia.
In this image, these horizontal cues make the Mustang appear visually wider and more squatted to the ground. It will be interesting to see how this styling intensifies the already aggressive appearance of the 2015 ‘Stang.
As little as this single image shows off the styling details of the 2015 Saleen 302 Mustang, it offers up even less as to what lies under the hood other than the fact that it’s a 5.0-liter V-8 (302 cubic inches, hence the car’s name). In its current form, the 2014 Saleen 302 Mustang is offered in two flavors: the naturally aspirated V-8 putting out 440 hp and the supercharged V-8 producing 625 hp.
We would expect prices to stay about the same for the 2015 302 Mustang, which range from $39,095 up to $54,386 (not including the donor car). There is no word as to when we’ll see the production version of the 2015 Saleen 302 Mustang, but our best guess is either this year’s SEMA Show in November or next year’s Detroit Auto Show.
