Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary Package Captures the Essence of Timeless Design
Fender badges, stripes, and wheels incorporate design elements that pay homage to the iconic Classic Style of the 1965 Mustang GT
Can you believe it's been sixty years since the #Ford #Mustang first hit the scene at the 1964 New York World's Fair? Seven generations later, this iconic car continues to captivate hearts and minds. To commemorate this milestone, Ford is releasing a special limited-edition Mustang 60th Anniversary package.
"We took inspiration from the original Mustang and applied some of the most special design elements to the latest in this limited production run," said Matt Simpson, Ford Enthusiast Vehicles general manager. “Mustang’s design DNA has never been stronger or more enduring than this multi-generational tribute.”
The exclusive package is reserved for the GT Premium, featuring the mighty 5.0-liter V8 engine, offered in coupe or convertible, and is available in manual or automatic transmission.
Drawing from the timeless design of the Mustang boasting a one-of-a-kind dash plaque and exclusive exterior features that combine to create a distinct look and feel, seamlessly blending classic touches from the original 1964 model with a modern touch.
“The design was directly inspired by the clean silhouette of the original car,” said Stefan Taylor, senior designer. “During the design process, we looked closely at the finely detailed elements of the 1965 Mustang, like the fender badges and wheel center caps. Our focus was capturing the feel of the ‘65, while also staying true to the Mustang as the modern sports car that it is.”
