Enthusiasts Make Their Own ‘Spec Commercial’ Video for Reveal on March 9th to Honor 60 Years of Mustang
By John M. Clor
February 11, 2025
WHAT’S HAPPENING – Every once and a while, a group of grassroots Mustang enthusiasts become so passionate about their beloved Ford Pony Car that they do something special to let the whole world know about it. That’s just what happened when a several Mustang owners, racers and fans in the Midwest decided to team up with some filmmaking creative types to create their own promotional video tribute to mark 60 years of the Ford Mustang. This privately funded “spec commercial” video was not affiliated or sponsored by Ford, but rather was spearheaded by a group of Mustang loyalists in the Columbus, Ohio, area and a media production company called Cinelescence LLC. After nearly a year of working together on the project, the group now wants to share their video tribute with the rest of the Mustang community. They’ve announced a premiere screening event of their “60th Anniversary Mustang Spec Commercial” at the Gale Halderman Museum, 6476 U.S. Hwy 40, Tipp City, OH 45371 on March 9th, 2025 at 12 noon. You’ll get to see the film, meet the creators, attend a “Mustang 60 Years” presentation by Ford Performance Club Connect, tour the museum and get a commemorative Mustang 60 Years poster just for being there. If you can’t attend the premiere in person, you’ll be able to see it and share it online that Sunday evening, March 9, 2025, on the Cinelescence YouTube channel at

Purely a passion project, this 60th Anniversary Mustang Spec Commercial explores the Mustang’s rich heritage through the heartfelt story of a grandfather reflecting on his family’s four-generation connection to the iconic brand. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Freddie Connor and shot by international cinematographer Dan Buckley, this cinematic tribute captures the Mustang’s legacy through a storyline set across four eras – the 1940s, the 1960s, the 1990s, and modern day. “This is an unsponsored, community-driven project created as a tribute to the iconic Mustang,” says Connor. The racing scenes were filmed at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in collaboration with Team Blitz Racing, led by Norm Murdock. Separately, Mustang enthusiasts collaborated to bring the brand’s evolution to life, with each vehicle carefully selected to represent different eras in the story.
Renowned British composer Rupert Uzzell, known for his work on the BAFTA-nominated The Fabric of You, crafted an original score for this spec commercial. Karen (Halderman) Koenigmade her Gale Halderman Mustang Museum available for the screening to honor her late father’s Mustang legacy on March 9th, -- the day historians say the very first Mustangs were produced by Ford. Connor and Buckley felt this would be the perfect way to honor the Mustang’s rich history and Gale Halderman’s incredible contribution to the brand. And on-site support from Ford Performance Club Connect helps to amplify Mustang’s rich history and share this project within the Mustang enthusiast community. For more info, email [email protected].
