VIDEO: Behind The Wheel - Episode 2 and 3 of blind man's adventure with 2010 Ford Mustang
Normally, we try not to cover one story too much, especially one that is a marketing tool, but this one is just too good to pass up. We've previously told you about Roger Keeney, the man from Athens, GA that lost his sight twenty years ago and hasn't been able to drive since. As part of their 10 Unleashed program, Ford fulfilled Roger's dream to drive a new Mustang GT Convertible with Trans-Am champion Tommy Kendall, and documented the event with a series of videos.
We received a preview last month, and now Ford has released the second and third episodes showing Keeney actually getting behind the wheel. Keeney even dishes out some kindness of his own by convincing Ford to let some of his friends at the Arizona Center for the Blind drive the Mustang as well. Check out both episodes in the embedded videos after the jump.

This is amazing! You can't help but smile watching this guy drive this car and see the happiness in his face as hes doing it! Kudos to Ford. If they haven't yet they need to make a commercial about this and get it on TV asap!

The faces on those people was the look of pure and true happiness. I'll admit this video put a smile on my face. It's definitely something these people won't ever forget.

Man. I got kinda teary-eyed after watching that and thinking about what that guy was able to experience again. Really big on the part of Ford to do that for him.

This is what Ford should be showing as commercials, I don't think I have enjoyed a major automotive company's staged production or ad as much as watching these videos. I remember the other week someone linking the soldier's Mustang commercial and realize just how good Ford's PR and Ad departments can be when giving the latitude
