The Mustang is about to turn 50 years old and Ford->ke31 is preparing to celebrate the event in style. The most important will be that we are going to see the launch of sixth-generation Mustang, but there will be a few other events prepared for the celebration.

One of these events is a "Mustang Countdown" online video series that reveals the many stories behind Ford Mustang->ke428 and how it has touched people all around the world. The series includes behind-the-scenes looks at the Mustang 1 concept car. the build of the 1 millionth Mustang at Flat Rock Assembly Plant and many more.

This is only the beginning though, as Ford promised future videos will cover video games, Mustang's competition heritage custom restomods and much more.

Ford Mustang will turn 50 years old on April 17, 2014, which happens to be the same day that we expect to see the new-gen Mustang.
