ICON50 – A Celebration of Pop Culture, Adventure, and Mustang



The Mustang has been going on strong for the last 50 years, which is an amazing achievement for a car model to have survived this long considering what has happened over those 50 years: several wars, a recession, bailouts, and more. It’s no wonder the average American has lost his/her sense of adventure. With the release of the new Ford Mustang, Ford, Hard Rock Hotels and Casinos, Zagat, ESPN the Magazine, and Mashable will come together to try and get Americans out of their homes and go on adventures to try something new with ICON50.

So, what is Ford going to do about that? Take a road trip. Ford, Hard Rock, Zagat, ESPN the Magazine, and Mashable are creating a list of 50 innovators and are designing a themed driving route in celebration of the Mustang’s 50th anniversary. There will be a cultural roadmap for encouragement, and going into 2015, there will be cross-country drives and consumer events.
we did our road trip this summer- 4 kids from 6~18, the wife and I...picked up my Mom in Colorado, headed to grand canyon, etc...my 2006 GT, her 2007 Pony, didnt miss a beat... 5800 mile round trip from Ohio, didnt make it to California, but almost

the cars have been a LOT more than transportation- local dragstrip allowed passengers in cars 14 seconds and over, the kids rode in carseats... my wife had lymphoma at 27, started her chemo on boys 1st/2nd birthdays, then years after radiation treatments, in '08 had a heart attack/bypass at 36- our youngest was 7 months... she couldnt drive for a while, let my mom take her car down the strip- I gave mom a 2 second headstart, she beat me by 70/1000 of a second- with kids on board yelling 'go grandma go!'. My wifes since had hers down the track many many times on test/tune nights, Ive done about 200 runs on my 06, just finally had to put a clutch disc in it before heading out west- the cars have been dead reliable... only regret is the notorious hood paint/sealing should never have been a issue- we also have a 09 with 4 miles on the clock, stashed away- even the hood paint on it started bubbling up this year

aluminum hood issues aside, these have been nothing but pure fun to drive... for the cost, they were a bargain, as mustangs always have been. hope Ford finds a way to get pricing more affordable- wish everyone could get one, and fall in love with driving again- so many today just want to get there, but you gotta enjoy the ride
