McQueen’s Mustang tops Ford film poll

Iconic Mustang GT 390 from Steve McQueen’s ‘Bullitt’ heads Top 10 of favourite Ford cars of the silver screen.

The Highland Green ‘Stang topped the poll staged by FordFest, one of the UK’s leading events for the Blue Oval.

There’s an opportunity to see a replica of the famous car at FordFest, Santa Pod, Bedfordshire on Sunday, September 18. It will appear alongside its Dodge Charger nemesis.
