For Mustang lovers in South Chicago, the 2025 Ford Mustang is on its way, following the major redesign from 2024. While fewer updates were expected this year, Ford has revealed a few exciting changes—many of which celebrate the Mustang’s 60th anniversary. With its iconic reputation, the Mustang remains a favorite for local drivers and car enthusiasts alike. Now, we know when production and deliveries of the 2025 model are set to begin.
According to insider sources, production for the 2025 Ford Mustang will kick off on November 4th, 2024, at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan. Although this date could change due to potential delays, early November is the target. That means South Chicago drivers can look forward to seeing the new Mustang arrive at dealerships just in time for the winter season. It’ll be ideal for cruising through the streets of South Shore, Hyde Park, or a scenic drive down Lake Michigan.
One of the most exciting updates for 2025 is the introduction of the 60th Anniversary Package, which brings heritage-inspired design elements to celebrate the Mustang’s six-decade history. This special edition is limited to just 1,965 units, with some finished in the classic Brittany Blue, perfect for turning heads while cruising down Lake Shore Drive or heading through neighborhoods like Bronzeville. Plus, dual-zone automatic climate control will now be standard across all models, making it easier to deal with Chicago’s unpredictable weather—whether it’s a cold winter day or a warm summer night.
However, a couple of features won’t make it to the 2025 model. Wireless charging, which was standard on the 2024 EcoBoost Premium, GT Premium, and Dark Horse models, will no longer be available. The EcoBoost High Performance Package has also been discontinued, which might be disappointing for those who love the extra boost when driving around the expressways or taking road trips to explore Northern Illinois.
Ford is also making some changes to the exterior color options. Four colors—Atlas Blue Metallic, Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, Yellow Splash Metallic Tri-Coat, and Dark Matter Gray Metallic—are being retired. In their place, Ford is introducing two new hues: Wimbledon White and Molten Magenta Metallic Tri-Coat, offering South Chicago Mustang drivers a mix of bold and classic looks for showing off on city streets.
Overall, while the 2025 Ford Mustang doesn’t bring massive changes, the 60th-anniversary edition, feature updates, and fresh color options ensure that this legendary muscle car will remain a top choice. With production starting in November, Mustang fans in South Chicago won’t have to wait long before they see this iconic car cruising through the city.
