Here is just a sample of the many celebrities who drive Ford Mustangs: more Jay Leno Of course former late-night talk show host Jay Leno drives a Mustang. Leno is well-known for his love of cars, which has left him with a car collection of over 100 vehicles. In that collection is a 1965 Mustang Shelby GT350 and a 2013 Mustang GT500. Leno has gone on record with his love for the Shelby name, and his '65 Shelby is one of his prized possessions. Any vehicle that gets the Leno seal of approval is worth checking out.

His Mustang has a classic paint job you don't see with new muscle cars very often anymore: a glossy teal with a black-painted hood and retro stripes along the sides. Even with his beau Miley Cyrus using this Mustang as a photoshoot backdrop from time to time, we love the look of this classic American icon. Bruce Willis Bruce Willis is the proud owner of a green 1968 Ford Mustang GT500. It makes sense that one of the biggest action movie stars ever would drive one of the toughest cars ever manufactured.

The '66 Mustang GT is a beautiful relic with a fire-engine red paint job and two black racing stripes down the center. However, he put this Mustang up for auction in 2011 to support a charity. The Mustang didn't sell, as it only got a bid for $100,000, and according to Sheen, it would take $300,000 to make another one like it. It was highly customized with NASCAR upgrades, as well as others. When you're ready to join the ranks of celebrities who drive Mustangs, come see us at ChestateeFord.com. We can provide you with the Mustang part — the celebrity status you'll have to get on your own.

Image Via Ford.com Ford is bringing one of its most beloved models back to the lineup in the near future. The two-door Bronco is coming, and here's what we know about it so far. more History of the Original Bronco In 1966, Ford released its original SUV, the Bronco, cutting a trail to the outdoors in a groundbreaking way. Buyers embraced this new offering, taking it out on their adventures and using it to tow heavy loads. The original version showcased a square body style with a backseat that offered enough space for passengers along with an oversized front grille. In 1969, the Bronco was featured in the Mexican 1000, an on-road and off-road rally that featured high-performance driving and stunning scenery. The SUV actually won the grueling race, which was a feat that no four-wheel-drive vehicle has been able to replicate. It's clear that the Ford Bronco has an impressive history, and Ford plans to continue this by releasing a new version of the beloved SUV. Expected Debut Date Ford hasn't made any major announcement as to when we can expect the Bronco to become available, aside from its plan to undergo a world premiere in the spring of 2020. It may come out at the New York Auto Show in April, but for now, we can take a look at the photos of prototypes that have been spotted in various areas around the country. Most of the photos feature the Bronco prototype climbing over steep terrain and even taking jumps with its wheels off the ground. Off-Roading Capability The two-door version of the Bronco is especially appealing to adventurous off-roading enthusiasts. It will likely compete with the Jeep Wrangler in terms of capability, although the photos show that it may be more suited to climbing over sand dunes rather than crawling over steep rocks. In all of its discussions about the upcoming Bronco, Ford is showing it off as a rally car. However, its body styling and features will likely make it appealing to those who want to tackle all types of terrain. In one of the prototype photos, auto experts spotted a set of 35-inch Goodyear mud-terrain tires, which are large and able to crawl over just about anything you can find. The underside of the Bronco also features a large skid plate that will protect the powertrain, suspension, and steering components. The front suspension appears to be completely independent, while the rear solid axle showcased a few lower control arms that hang below the rest of the body. Although the Bronco may still change from what we see in the prototype, it's clear that Ford is working to create an off-road-ready model for buyers in this segment. If you're interested in getting behind the wheel of a two-door Ford Bronco, visit Chestatee Ford. We have a wide selection of all the newest models available, and we'll have Bronco models on our lot as soon as possible. For now, we'll keep watching for photos that give us a sneak peek of what we can expect from this highly anticipated SUV.
