Is It Possible for Ford Mustang Production to Move to Mexico?
With all the talk about Ford moving their car production to Mexico and bringing all of their truck production to the United States, it does beg the question on whether or not Ford will continue to build the Mustang in Flat Rock, Michigan. Is it even possible that Ford would consider producing the American pony car somewhere other than the United States?
It’s not without precedent, as the Dodge Charger and Challenger are both built in Canada. Doubly-ironic is the fact that the Hemi engines are produced in Mexico.
Luckily Automotive News has the answer. While all the headlines lump everything together as “Cars,” there is hope for the vehicles assembled in Flat Rock. The Mustang is staying, and even though it’s losing Fusion it’ll gain the Lincoln Continental. Automotive News is even saying that another high-end nameplate will replace the MKS. Though, I’m not so sure on that way, with the Ford Taurus being basically dead in the United States.
So have no fear Mustang fans. We’ll be talking more about this shift in the coming days and weeks, but as it stands, the Mustang is staying put. Where it belongs.
