2015 Ford Mustang-themed pinball machine combines two of America’s classic passions

Stern Pinball Company has released a commemorative game to celebrate two classic American loves: The Ford Mustang and the pinball machine.

The newly released pinball machine – called the Mustang Pro – celebrates fifty years of America’s pony car. It also allows players to immerse themselves in the rich history of the Mustang, highlighting muscle car heartthrobs from the timeless GTs to the delightfully powerful Boss editions, as well as the new 2015 Mustang.

While I’ve never been a huge pinball junkie, pinball is something that is enjoyed by almost every American, like apple pie or football. It’s just in our blood.

So what’s so special about this pinball machine other than some Mustang stickers? The commemorative Mustang game allows for a multitude of different game scenarios from drifting, police pursuits, rallies and drag races as well as a gear shift multiball mode. The machine also allows for four different tunes to play while enjoying the game as well as voice-overs by Tanner Foust.

It seems with the anniversaries of classic American pony cars, Americans everywhere are looking to bring back the past but put a modern spin on old favorites. And why shouldn’t they? Everyone knows after a long day of work and a long commute home in your classic American car, there is nothing better than unwinding with some good old-fashioned arcade games, certainly to be enjoyed with a glass bottle Coca-Cola.

Whether you like it or not, Ford has started the process of turning the Mustang into a full family of models to capitalize on the nameplate's decades-old popularity. Called Mustang Mach E, the first off-shoot is an electric, four-door family-hauler that slots into the crossover segment. We're taking a look at how it stacks up against the coupe that inspired it.
Design and tech

The Mach E is Mustang-inspired, not Mustang-based, and the two models share no parts whatsoever. While the Mustang has historically been offered only as a coupe and as a convertible, the Mach E arrives as a tall, four-door crossover. The two models share a handful of styling cues such as swept-back headlights, a long hood, and triple-bar rear lights, but no one will ever mistake a Mustang for a Mach E, or vice versa. Nameplate aside, each model as its own identity.

Ford Motor Company has issued a North American recall notice for the 2015-17 Ford Transit Van, select 2019 Ford Edge vehicles, and select 2019 Ford Expeditions and 2019 Lincoln Navigators. Each model is being recalled for different reasons.

For the select 2015-17 Ford Transit Vans, affected vehicles were recalled for the driveshaft flexible coupling. It may crack with increasing mileage, resulting in driveline noise and vibration. A cracked flexible coupling can lead to complete failure of the driveshaft which can cause extensive damage while in motion, or while parked it would allow the vehicle to roll if the parking brake is not engaged. At this time there are no reports of accidents or injuries related to this recall problem.
