Car enthusiasts will be able to see the Ford Mustang's new design Thursday in Cleveland.
The design will be on display as part of a promotion celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Mustang and it's history in Cleveland, Newschannel5 reported.
Many of the car's famous engines were built at Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1 in Brook Park.
The 2005 model combines all new architecture with a large engine and rear-wheel drive.
The Mustang has been the top-selling sports car for the past 18 years.

Shirts that measure affection, shoes that prevent faux pas, bikes that are political tools. All these high tech concepts were on display at the annual exhibit by the Parsons School of Design and Technology Department.
"These students are learning to be technologists, but at the same time they're learning about design concepts," Colleen Macklin of Parsons School of Design said. "What ends up happening is the design concepts and fundamentals they're learning help bridge the technology to the user or audience."
The "Closer" project bridges relationships through technology, in spite of technology.
"It's based on the idea -- nowadays we're on cell phones, using all these things about being far apart -- and my project brings people close together," Parsons student Alison Lewis said. "It works based on some sensors I made by hand and they're sewn together though conductive fabrics and textiles. While being able to be hugged it fills up like gasoline. So if I hug on it and hold on it, it'll fill up."

A multipurpose grocery basket, shoes with antishock padding, and a foot-operated soil cultivator. These and more innovative items are now on display at the Paglulunsad 2004 exhibit, being held at the Product Development and Design Center of the Philippines (PDDCP) until June 15.
The items were designed by 59 graduating students from the University of the Philippines in Diliman (UP) and the Mapua Institute of Technology (MIT).
More than a hundred plates of the students' best works are on showcase, covering various design inclinations from communications design (packaging, graphics, exhibition, photography) to product design-attempting to infuse fun and fresh ideas on industrial applications.
UP students submitted projects for communications design, while MIT students focused their works on engineering-driven product designs. MIT's Ahmed Cruz submitted this year's Best Thesis with his redesign of the grocery basket. UP's Jury's Choice for Best Thesis, Ma. Sofia Gonzales, designed a pair of fashionable ladies footwear with interchangeable straps and heels, and antishock gel padding. Last year's third prizewinner in the 8th Furniture Design Competition, UP student Mark Rudolf Villoso and character designer-illustrat or Ruben de Vela (UP) are also among the participants.

Intellectual property has the potential to provide a major boost for the UK economy, it has been claimed.
The Patent Office has launched a new campaign to raise awareness of the value of intellectual property (IP) - patents, trade marks, design registrations and copyright - among SMEs.
Backing the initiative, Minister for Science and Innovation Lord Sainsbury said the protection and exploitation of the UK's creativity through IP was "one of the most important catalysts for growth" in the British economy.
He said the campaign reinforced the increasing worth of intellectual assets in the knowledge economy as highlighted in the Department of Trade & Industry's Innovation Report.
The Patent Office is working in partnership with the Chartered Institute of Patent Agents (CIPA) and Institute of Trademark Attorneys (ITMA) on the 'What Is The Key?' initiative.
It is aimed at helping SMEs unlock their hidden potential by making the most of their intellectual assets. It will also make them aware of the dangers of not being aware of other people's intellectual assets.

More alluring, more powerful and sportier than its predecessor, the car celebrated its European market premiere last March.
The second generation of the Mercedes compact two-seater also boasts an exquisite overall design, several details of which take their cue from Formula 1.
It has a further developed vario-roof transforming the roadster into a coupe in just 22 seconds. This is joined on the list of standard equipment by head/thorax sidebags, adaptive front air bags and two-stage belt force limiters. The car's chassis, steering and manual transmission have been given an even sportier edge.
The interior has also been completely redesigned and upgraded through the use of carefully selected materials. The design concept is distinguished by switches, buttons and trim elements with silver-coloured surfaces, which form a striking contrast to the dark tones of the dashboard.
