For drivers across the Midwest, the 2025 Ford Mustang is on its way, building on the comprehensive redesign it received in 2024. While few changes were expected this year, Ford has introduced a few updates—many tied to the Mustang’s 60th anniversary. With its deep roots in American automotive culture, the Mustang remains a favorite in the Midwest, where muscle cars thrive on open highways and scenic backroads. Now, we know when production and deliveries of the 2025 model are set to begin.
According to sources, production for the 2025 Ford Mustang will start on November 4th, 2024, at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan. Though this date may change based on various factors, early November is the current target. For Midwest enthusiasts, that means the new Mustang will be rolling out just in time for the last weeks of fall driving, before winter kicks in.
One of the key highlights for 2025 is the introduction of the 60th Anniversary Package, which brings retro-inspired styling elements to celebrate the Mustang’s iconic history. This special edition is limited to just 1,965 units, with a handful finished in Brittany Blue—a nod to the classic Mustang color that many might remember from car shows or Sunday drives through Midwestern towns. Additionally, dual-zone automatic climate control is now standard on all models, a welcome feature for dealing with the region’s unpredictable weather.
However, a few features won’t make it into the 2025 model. Wireless charging, previously standard on the EcoBoost Premium, GT Premium, and Dark Horse models, has been removed. Also, the EcoBoost High Performance Package is no longer available, which might be a disappointment for Midwestern drivers who love pushing their Mustang’s performance on the wide-open stretches of road between cities.
As for exterior colors, Ford is retiring four options: Atlas Blue Metallic, Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, Yellow Splash Metallic Tri-Coat, and Dark Matter Gray Metallic. To fill the gap, the 2025 Mustang will offer two new colors: Wimbledon White and Molten Magenta Metallic Tri-Coat. These fresh options give drivers a mix of classic and bold looks for making a statement on rural roads or city streets alike.
While the 2025 Ford Mustang doesn’t bring major changes, its 60th-anniversary edition and updated features make it a great option for American pony car lovers in the Kansas City area looking for a mix of nostalgia and modern performance. Production starts in November, so gear up for this new iteration of a legendary muscle car.
