Ford is previewing a one-of-a-kind 2015 Apollo Edition Mustang which pays tribute to NASA’s Apollo program.

The automaker is once again supporting EAA’s youth aviation programs by unveiling and donating for auction an unique vehicle on July 23 during the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh fly-in. The Apollo Edition Mustang is a specially designed and built 2015 Ford Mustang that features design cues from NASA’s Apollo program that successfully sent and returned men to the moon.

“With its eighth Mustang donation inspired by aviation, Ford continues to excite with its specialty vehicles, which reflects the depth of Ford’s commitment to EAA, its members, and the future of flight,” said Jack Pelton, EAA chairman of the board.

Ford Design Manager Melvin Betancourt led the design and engineering teams that developed the unique car. The Apollo Edition Mustang sports a black and white paint scheme with United States lettering and flag, a sleek aerodynamic package including a prominent front splitter and large rear wing, unique alloy wheels and red mirror caps. Inside, the car gets special seats with Apollo badges and colored accents mirroring the exterior paint scheme.

“The Ford Apollo Edition Mustang salutes man’s greatest technological achievement, with the ingenuity, precision, and power that defined the spirit of American innovation,” said Edsel B. Ford II, a member of the Ford Board of Directors.

The 2015 Apollo Edition Mustang is the eighth aviation-themed Mustang built by Ford for EAA’s Gathering of Eagles charity event. Expect more details about the car on July 23.
