Default Mustang carbon wheels

Good news for Geelong manufacturing.

In the local paper here today...

Ford global is sourcing wheels for the Mustang from a small Geelong manufacturing plant.

Lightweight carbon fibre wheels, invented right here.

At least some Australian content/jobs in the new Mustang ....
