The Mustang nameplate turns 60 this year and Ford will celebrate with the release of a 60th Anniversary Appearance Package for the current car.
The reveal is timed for a special gathering Ford has planned at Charlotte Motor Speedway on April 17, which is the same date 60 years ago where the original Mustang made its debut at the New York World’s Fair.
No details about the package have been revealed, but teaser photos released on Wednesday show some of the badges that will be part of the package. The emblems feature a combination of Vermillion Red and Ebony Black and were inspired by the emblems and wheel center caps of the Mustang that debuted at the World’s Fair, Ford said.
The event in Charlotte will be open to the public, although it is necessary to register and places may be limited. Ford said there will be additional Mustang news to be released on the day, as well as tours for visitors in various Mustang vehicles.

Entering its seventh decade on the market, it has enjoyed the status of the best-selling sports car in the world for more than 10 years. Almost a million copies were delivered in the last decade, according to Ford.
Impressively, the Mustang has been a bestseller since its earliest days. The original, which Ford called the 1964-and-a-half model even though state DMVs titled it 1965, found nearly 700,000 buyers in late 1965, when the Mustang arrived for its first appearance updates.
