For Mustang enthusiasts in North Chicago, the 2025 Ford Mustang is gearing up to make its debut following the significant redesign in 2024. While this year’s updates aren’t as extensive, Ford has made some exciting changes—many of which celebrate the Mustang’s 60th anniversary. With its storied history, the Mustang continues to be a highly anticipated model for drivers across the North Shore. Now, we know when production and deliveries are expected to begin.
According to insider sources, the 2025 Ford Mustang production will start on November 4th, 2024, at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan. While this date may shift due to unforeseen factors, early November is the current goal, which means the new Mustangs could hit North Chicago dealerships just in time for the holiday season. It’ll be perfect for cruising along Lake Shore Drive or taking a scenic drive out to the suburbs.
One of the most exciting updates for 2025 is the introduction of the 60th Anniversary Package, which features heritage-inspired design elements to honor six decades of Mustang history. This special edition is limited to 1,965 units, with a select few finished in classic Brittany Blue—a nostalgic throwback sure to turn heads whether you’re in the city or driving around North Chicago neighborhoods like Rogers Park or Edgewater. Additionally, dual-zone automatic climate control will be standard across all models, making it easier to handle Chicago’s unpredictable weather.
However, the 2025 Mustang will also lose a couple of features. Wireless charging, previously standard on the 2024 EcoBoost Premium, GT Premium, and Dark Horse models, will no longer be available. The EcoBoost High Performance Package is also being discontinued, which may disappoint drivers who crave that extra horsepower for weekend trips to the lake or exploring the winding roads of Northern Illinois.
When it comes to exterior colors, Ford is making some changes. Four colors—Atlas Blue Metallic, Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, Yellow Splash Metallic Tri-Coat, and Dark Matter Gray Metallic—are being retired. But Ford is introducing two new hues: Wimbledon White and Molten Magenta Metallic Tri-Coat, offering a mix of classic and bold new options for drivers in North Chicago who want to make a statement on city streets.
In summary, while the 2025 Ford Mustang doesn’t introduce major changes, its 60th-anniversary package, feature updates, and fresh color options keep this iconic muscle car in the spotlight. With production set to begin in November, Mustang fans in North Chicago won’t have to wait long before this legendary car is cruising along the lakefront and throughout the city.
