Production of the 2015 Mustang will be significant in that it will mark both the first time that the American-made Mustang will be exported to countries across the globe and the first time the Mustang has been factory-built in a right-hand-drive configuration.

Flat Rock Assembly Plant is no stranger to Mustang milestones: just last year, the 1 millionth Mustang—a Ruby Red 2014 Mustang convertible—rolled off its production line. In the last year, Flat Rock has added new features such as a state-of-the-art body shop and began utilizing new techniques such as 3-Wet paint and 3D dirt detection.
