In a stunning announcement today, Ford Motor Company and celebrated actress Sydney Sweeney revealed Brittley as the grand winner of a once-in-a-lifetime contest. Brittley, hailing from Washington State and the proud owner of a 2005 Mustang, has won a custom 2024 Mustang GT designed by Sydney Sweeney herself.
The contest, drawing in approximately 5,000 entries, challenged participants to share stories of how they’ve defied stereotypes in their passions, echoing Ford and Sweeney’s mission to empower women in automotive spaces and beyond. Brittley’s compelling narrative of breaking barriers in male-dominated fields, from the culinary world to video game development and car maintenance, showcased the profound impact of self-confidence and the power of one’s voice.
Brittley’s experience, punctuated by her unique position as one of the few women in her professional and personal endeavors, underscores the empowering message Ford and Sweeney aim to amplify. “I have never entered a contest before. This is so exciting and really made me believe anything is possible if you have the courage to put yourself out there!” expressed an elated Brittley.
Ford’s collaboration with Sydney Sweeney celebrates the 60th anniversary of the iconic Mustang, culminating in the creation of two custom vehicles inspired by Sweeney’s 1965 Mustang, named Britney. The 2024 Ford Mustang GT, soon to be delivered to Brittley, features a Robin’s Egg Blue exterior, 20-inch chrome rims, and numerous personal touches from Sweeney, including a color-changing LED starry headliner.
Sydney Sweeney’s involvement in the project goes beyond just design; it’s a celebration of individuality and defiance against stereotypes. “It’s heartening to see Ford celebrate individuals who are pushing past stereotypes to do what they love. That’s why I was so excited to work with Ford on designing my dream car, and I can’t wait to surprise someone special with a matching vehicle,” Sweeney remarked.
As Ford and Sweeney continue to forge a path for women in the automotive industry, Brittley’s story serves as a beacon of inspiration for those daring to challenge the status quo. Her victory not only represents a personal achievement but also symbolizes the broader message of empowerment and resilience Ford and Sweeney champion.
