Without the Ford Mustang, there would be no Chevrolet Camaro. However, over five decades, both cars developed their own cult following and loyal fan base. And with the Ford Mustang is celebrating its 54th birthday this year, Chevrolet and the Camaro took time to wish the Mustang a happy birthday, albeit in a cheeky manner.
In the video posted to the Chevrolet Arabia Facebook page, the Camaro doubled down on its long-time rivalry. As a man stands idly by with a Mustang-shaped birthday cake in hand, a Camaro blasts by with enough speed to blow out the “54” candles in a bit of a back-handed complimented.
The video reads, “Happy Birthday, Little Pony.” Meanwhile, the caption also takes a dig at the Mustang’s birthday reading, “We don’t just bring the thunder. We steal it, too.” It goes to show that age is just a number, and the Camaro-Mustang rivalry will continue on for years to come.
