It was a grand slam of auto shows this week when Ford came out to display the latest and greatest in their pipeline.

 Named MLB’s Official Automotive Partner, America’s Most Iconic Company teamed up with the nation’s favorite pastime as Yankee legend Tino Martinez made a special appearance alongside Mr. and Mrs. Met at the New York International Auto Show.

Ford proved that they are winning shape to move front and center in baseball’s biggest moments—from Opening Day to the World Series—while driving impact in communities through Minor League and Little League Baseball.

Adding to the home run of an event was an incredible 30th Anniversary Appearance Package of the Ford Expedition. Since 1996, this powerhouse vehicle has taken consumers on great road adventures. The 30th Anniversary Appearance Package celebrates this milestone, exclusively available on 2027 Expedition Platinum models. For added exclusivity, it’s the only Expedition featuring available Blue Ember Metallic paint — a color-shifting showstopper. The front scuff plates feature Black Onyx with satin-aluminum “30 YEARS” lettering. Featuring exterior badging, 22″ high-gloss Ebony-painted wheels with an anniversary center cap, and more, it drew in the crowd with wonder and delight.

The next chapter of U.S. manufacturing, craftsmanship and culture was turned in other ways as well during the show by Ford. Other highlights that stood out included: the New Mustang Dark Horse SC which was developed alongside the Mustang GTD supercar and Mustang GT3 race car, drawing on the high-performance, motorsport-derived experience of the Ford Racing team and lessons learned competing with Mustang GT3; and the new Bronco RTR – Inspired by off-road racing in Johnson Valley, the new Bronco RTR packs RTR design attitude and two levels of capability for high-speed off-road performance.

Consumers also feel in love with the Lincoln Navigator which for 2026, the continues to define the brand’s flagship SUV, combining a bold confident design, effortless connectivity, and refined craftsmanship. Features such as the New Lincoln Rejuvenate Tropical Paradise Theme were a hot topic.

Lincoln Rejuvenate is the brand’s signature in-vehicle wellness experience, transforming the cabin into a multisensory sanctuary through coordinated visuals, sound, scent, climate, and seat settings. Designed to help drivers relax and recharge during stationary moments, it’s already a proven benefit: more than half of Navigator and Nautilus clients with Lincoln Rejuvenate have experienced its benefits, and over a third use it regularly to create moments of calm.

Here is to many more great drives down the road.
