Ford announced the Dec. 5 unveiling last week in connection to the 2013 LA Auto Show, and while the Dearborn-based automaker continues to releases short inspirational films in anticipation of the vehicle's debut, one executive says the unveiling will be well worth the wait.

"Expect an exciting day on Dec. 5," said Ford President of The Americas Joe Hinrichs when asked about the Mustang unveiling by MLive at the 2013 LA Auto Show. "I'm biased, but I think you'll be really impressed."

The all-new global pony car will make its debut in six cities on four continents, according to Ford. Reveal events next month will take place in Dearborn, Mich.; New York; Los Angeles; Barcelona; Shanghai and Sydney.

Hinrichs said Dec. 5 is not a special date for the Mustang, but coordination worked out for Ford officials to make it a truly global unveiling.

Joe Hinrichs, Ford executive vice president and president of the Americas, unveils the Edge concept Nov. 20 at the 2013 LA Auto Show.

"We're taking advantage of the opportunity of Mustang going global to do it globally, as compared to an auto show," he told reporters following the unveiling of the Ford Edge concept on Dec. 20. "Mustang 50 years is a big enough event on its own that will generate plenty of energy and excitement, I'm sure."

Speculation surrounding the sixth-generation vehicle, which celebrates its 50th anniversary next year, has been going on for months, if not years.

Over the summer, MLive took to the Woodward Dream Cruise's Mustang Alley to find out what current owners want out of the next-generation Mustang. The responses were mixed, but overall owners agreed they wanted a new vehicle that pays tribute to its predecessors without looking "too retro."

We'll have to wait 10 more days to see just how "retro" the 2015 Mustang is or isn't, but for now, Mustang fans can get their fix of news and photos by following #MustangInspires on social media websites.

Ford partnered with Instagram ad Facebook for a 15-day countdown to the highly-anticipated unveiling that features a short inspirational video being released each day. So far, the videos have focused on the lives around certain Mustang fans rather than the actual vehicle.

Ford also is asking people to share their photographic stories of inspiration using the #MustangInspires hashtag on Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms. The tagged photos and videos will appear on mustanginspires.com.

More than 100 photos and videos have already been published on the website.
