You have heard of Mustang Sally. Now get ready to meet Mustang Nelly.
Ford will unveil the 2011 Mustang GT at the Detroit Motor Show soon. The car will be featured in the cover of Nelly’s next album."This vehicle being a part of my album artwork is just a reflection of the direction and feel that album has," said Nelly in a statement issued by Ford.
The car we can all now dub Mustang Nelly features a custom gloss black paint job with flat black racing stripes and a custom made one-off wide-body Street Scene kit.
The cabin has a suede and leather design and a custom JL Audio system with two 12-inch subwoofers.
"I don't care where you grew up, everyone knows the Mustang. At some point, you've had a conversation about a Mustang - and it was probably one about you wanting to get behind the wheel of one," says Nelly. "I've always loved the Mustang; the vehicle has power to the point where you can't help but want to hit the pedal. And the newest one? More power, hotter style."
