Now that we've finally seen the 2015 Ford Mustang (http://autoblog.com/ford/mustang/), it's fun to go back and look at the spy shots we spent months pouring over, trying to dissect what was under all the camouflage. For the most part, Ford (http://autoblog.com/ford/) did a good job of concealing the car from spy photographers, and it released a video showing how much work went into doing so.
As crude as the Mustang's camo looked, all of the hard plastic, foam, vinyl and ratchet straps were actually created and put in place by a specific design team. The whole idea was to hide the car's identity, but it certainly ended up acting as a magnet for attention, too. According to Ford's press release, it took less than an hour for spy shots to appear online after the car was taken on public roads for the very first time - this is likely in reference to our first official spy shots of the Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/06/10/2015-ford-mustang-prototype-spotted-on-the-street/) from June, shown in the gallery below.

This is probably the same track session where we got our first look at the Mustang's face (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/20/2015-ford-mustang-face-spy-shots/) back in August.Continue reading How Ford hid the 2015 Mustang from spy photographers (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/12/20/2015-ford-mustang-hid-spy-photographers-video/)
