ICONIC

Switching things up a bit, from clothes to cars, and am SUPER excited to share something a little different.. . .

Last month, I partnered with Lombard Ford to explore Northwestern Connecticut  in a beautiful ride- the amazing Mustang GT Premium Convertible. Lombard Ford is located at 385 New Hartford Road in Berkshire, CT and has been serving Connecticut and surrounding states for over 33 years.

Lombard Ford is known nationwide for their amazing Corral of Ford Mustang vehicles. Ford makes truly timeless cars that are built to last. My extended test drive was a total dream, no surprise! To be honest, I’ve always wanted to own one, so this project was a perfect fit and so much fun to shoot.

Here are three highlights that stood out…

1. Dynamics/Performance: This model has the 6 Speed Select Shift Automatic transition with paddler shifters, which makes the performance and responsiveness of switching gears soooooo smooth! Not to mention, it’s saddled with a 5.0-liter V8 that puts out 435 horsepower and 400-pound-feet of torque. I promise, behind the wheel you will surely feel its power.

2. Timeless design: With its classic shape, raised blade decklid spoiler and dual bright exhaust with rolled polished tips, the Mustang is unmistakable. The iconic Mustang silhouette is gently tapered and curved, while the illuminating Mustang logo looks amazing at night!

3. Features: I just fell in love with CarPlay! The moment I plugged my iPhone into the USB jack, I immediately lost my breath *fans face*. I’ve seen videos of CarPlay, but to actually use it while driving through Farmington Valley was an experience I appreciated. An aesthetically pleasing one to say the least. #millenialapproved

I could seriously go on and on about how much I love this Mustang….

Thank you Lombard Ford for allowing us to create our perfect day in one of the most iconic and luxury vehicles I’ve ever gotten to drive. Hopefully it won’t be the last!
