Further With Ford: Behind The Wheel Experience in San Francisco


Yesterday I had the time of my life, to close out the Ford conference the media in attendance had the opportunity to tour the streets of San Francisco in the latest vehicles from Ford – including the all-new Mustang, Edge, Escape, Explorer and Focus.

Our first destination was the Palace of Fine Arts and we traveled in an all new Ford Mustang Convertible! I had the pleasure of touring the city with my Florida Gal Pals -- Bess Auer from gottagetblogging.com and Brittany Minor from clumpsofmascara.com
I had the opportunity to review the 2015 Ford Mustang

The Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District of San Francisco, California, is a monumental structure originally constructed for the Panama-Pacific Exposition in order to exhibit works of art presented there. It was rebuilt in 1965, and renovation of the lagoon, walkways, and a seismic retrofit were completed in early 2009.

Next we swapped out the Mustang for the Ford Edge and headed to Coit Tower
The 2015 Edge was re-engineered from the ground up. Its bold new design grabs attention, while the choice of three powerful engines shatter convention and deliver pure, exhilarating performance. And once behind the wheel, you'll find yourself surrounded by state-of-the-art technologies engineered to inspire confidence on the road.
Coit Tower, a slender white concrete column rising from the top of Telegraph Hill, has been an emblem of San Francisco’s skyline since its completion in 1933.


Our final stop was to the Golden Gate Bridge in the all-new Ford Explorer.
  • New liftgate, new taillamps, new facsia and new exhaust tips
  • Redesigned hood, headlamps, grille, fender and fog lamps
  • Five all-new wheel designs and five new colors
  • Large twin-scroll low-inertia turbocharger separates the exhaust pulses from pairs of cylinders enabling quicker turbine spin-up, enhanced acceleration responsiveness and efficiency.
Once called "the bridge that couldn't be built," today it is one the seven wonders of the modern world. This magnificent span, perhaps San Francisco's most famous landmark, opened in 1937 after a four-year struggle against relentless winds, fog, rock and treacherous tides.


 San Francisco is a beautiful city and the weather was amazing, I really didn't want to return to the heat of Atlanta. I'm very thankful that Ford selected me for this opportunity! Thanks for the adventure.

Displaying a 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible 1,000 Feet Above Manhattan – Some Assembly Required



As the world honors 50 years of Ford Mustang, what better way to celebrate one of the most iconic car brands than putting one back on top of one of the most iconic buildings? When Ford and the Empire State Building decided to display a new 2015 Mustang convertible on the 86th floor observation deck, Ford turned to a longtime supplier for the unique expertise required to make this happen.

 
In a world where tiny startups are regularly swallowed up by established behemoths, Ford Motor Company and Romulus, Mich.-based DST Industries have been collaborators for nearly six decades. In 1965 – the only other time in the Empire State Building’s 83-year history a car was displayed on its open-air deck – a DST crew was on hand to show off that Mustang convertible.

“This week, the band is getting back together as Ford and DST bring the all-new Mustang to the Empire State Building to honor 50 years on sale,” said Dave Pericak, Mustang chief engineer. “We’ve taken the new Mustang to new heights of technology and refinement, so we decided to take it to new heights literally for this celebration.”
The Triple Yellow 2015 Mustang convertible will be on display for visitors to the Empire State Building observation deck April 16-17. When the deck closes to the public at 2 a.m. April 18, the crew will descend on the display car to reverse the entire process and remove it before visitors return at 8 a.m.
