Ford has begun preparing its Flat Rock Assembly Plant for the 2015 Mustang, the Detroit Free Press reports, adding that the first prototypes of the new pony car will be built starting January.
Since Flat Rock will be responsible for each and every 2015 Mustang sold next year, including those that will be exported to Europe and Asia, Ford added a second shift of 1,200 workers and modified the paint shop. A retooling is also expected to start later this month, when the plant will be idle due to slow 2014 Mustang sales.
“Everything is contained within one plant, one platform and it’s going to service the world,” said Ford chief engineer Dave Pericak.
The 2015 Ford Mustang will become available in late 2014, while the first production models are expected to start rolling off the assembly line in July. Word has it ordering books will be opened in mid-April, when the Mustang celebrates its 50th anniversary.
