A Silver Mustang and Ol’ Blue Eyes

Some people think of the Mustang’s soundtrack as rock ‘nroll. Lee Iacocca doesn’t. And since he’s the father of the Mustang, and was buddies with the Chairman of the Board, he gets to play a different tune.

Iacocca has brought a customized 45th anniversary special Mustang to the market. There are only 45 copies of the sleek silver beast to be produced.

A special car deserves a special commercial, and that’s where a favor was likely called in. Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me To The Moon” plays while the car winds it’s way from the mountains, through downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific. Don’t miss the smoky automotive choreography in the middle of the video.

The 2009 1/2 Iacocca 45th Anniversary Edition Ford Mustang has a body designed by Michael Leone and was built by Gaffoglio Family Metalcrafters. The modified front end has dramatically sunken headlights along with other body modifications. Ford Racing parts supply the fast.

There’s even a cameo at the end when you see who’s driving it. And no, it’s not Steve McQueen.
