Ford fuses 50 years of Mustang history together in unique display

Where can I see the split Ford Mustang display?

There are very few good reasons to cut a Mustang in half, let alone do it twice. Unless, of course, you are planning on connecting it to another half of a Mustang. This might seem like an odd idea, but Ford just proved that it can be a good one, creating a unique display that utilizes half of a 1965 Mustang and half of a 2015 Mustang connected in the middle. Many of you now may be wonder “where can I see the split Ford Mustang display?”

Ford designed this unique Mustang to be displayed at the National Inventors Hall of Fame Museum (NIHF) in Alexandria, Virginia. The split Mustang will be part of the new, permanent Intellectual Property Power Exhibit. The exhibit is meant to highlight the importance of technological developments and patents in the twentieth century.
