Happy 50th Ford Mustang!

Last Thursday, April 17, was the 50^th anniversary of the Ford Mustang! We hosted a celebration of the infamous Ford Motor Company model – it was a day full of Mustangs, both old and new. Beginning with a special cake ceremony at 9:30 a.m., the Uftring Automall showroom was full of incredible Mustang machines. From the newest models to aged Mustangs build decades ago, we had a huge variety of vehicles for our Ford enthusiasts to look at.

The Mustang has been such an important icon to both the Ford Motor Company and the Uftring Auto Group. The very first Mustang was premiered on April 17, 1964 at New York’s World Fair! The one-millionth Ford Mustang model was quickly produced just two years later on February 23, 1966. Over 22,000 Mustangs were sold on the day Ford released the Mustang for sale. That’s an incredible sale number, especially back then!

The mustang has evolved through time and has changed the sports car industry forever. The Mustang is an important part of automotive history and continues to be just as exclusive and popular as it was in years past. The newest Mustangs have revolutionized the sports car model completely, expanding its capabilities and horsepower while pushing the technology and the power of a Mustang to its limits – and beyond. We thank those who came out to help us celebrate 50 years of the Mustang, and we thank those who have purchased Mustangs from Uftring Ford all these years. Which Ford Mustang means the most to you?

2015 Ford Mustang

A few weeks ago, a team of Uftring Auto Group employees took a trip down south to New Orleans, Louisiana for the annual 2014 NADA Convention and Expo! We got some sneak peeks of what’s ahead for the Ford Motor Company and meet with fellow Ford dealers located all over the country. During the convention, we had the opportunity to get up close and personal with the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang!

This beauty is a beast. The all-new 2015 Ford Mustang sports car is the sixth-generation Mustang Ford has revealed, equipped with more fun and features than ever before. The look of the new Mustang looks mighty and fierce. We love this new 2015 model for many reasons, including the three incredible engines you can choose from. Each one more powerful than the next, the new pony has a 5.0 liter V-8, a 2.3 liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder and a 3.7 liter V-6. We know which engine we’d pick, which one would you?

The interior is a whole other story. Inspired by aviation cockpits, you feel like you’re flying! From the controls to the gauges and steering wheel, the Mustang theme is apparent. New technology in every Mustang gives you that feeling of having the most prestigious and top-notch technology that is hard to find in cars right now. From the available touch screen dashboard to the standard push-to-start engine, you’ll impress anyone who takes a ride.

Imagine driving down your favorite Peoria area road, windows down, knowing you’ve got the hottest car on the highway. That’s a pretty cool feeling. Appearance aside, the 2015 Mustang is safe and as a brand new sports car, it’s affordable. You don’t have to be a millionaire to own the classic Ford Mustang.

We’ll have the new Mustang on sale later in the year, and we’ll be the first to let you know when you can come test drive one right here in East Peoria at the Uftring Automall!
