The 2015 Ford Mustang is here to celebrate 50 years of continuos production of the iconic pony car. This anniversary (April 17th) also happens to fall during the press days of the 2014 New York International Auto Show. The Mustang will have several huge and hundreds of smaller parties going on across the nation, but the next-generation 2015 Ford Mustang is also going up the Empire State Building. Again.
Ford accomplished this feat with the original Mustang nearly 50 years prior. Now, the 2015 model is going up to the historic 86th floor observatory via elevator. That’s right, the car must be dismantled, cut into pieces, brought up by elevator, and reassembled at the top. Helicopter delivery of the car is out of the question due to the narrow observation deck and the spire of the Empire State Building.
Ford’s technical team took careful measurements of the new elevators and are ready for the project. The tricky part is that they only have six hours to reassemble the car once the racks of parts are delivered to the deck. Visitors to the Empire State Building observation deck can see the new Mustang convertible for 54 hours from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m., April 16-17.
