Very similar color theme to Corvette's 50th, right down to the beige colored wheels (and the Corvette 40th for that matter, sans the biege/gold theme...) for the 40th Mustang... Attractive color combo, though.

 

Of all the cars I've seen so far, I will guarantee you all the Chrysler 300C will steal the show. The pics will be out Wednesday upon introduction.

It's definately a love it or hate it design.

 

Hmmm whadda ya know. The 40th Anniversary Mustang will be a wheels, badging and stripes package.

Someone tell me again why the 35th Anniversary Camaro sucked so bad.

 

When do we see the CTSv?

 

Hey now!

-Rich

 

Eh....it's ok. I think a simple black GT with Bullit wheels looks considerably better, though.

 

Oh it wasn't a rip on your car at all. I love the 35th Camaro! It was just my not-so-subtle way of making a point.

 

"Hmmm whadda ya know. The 40th Anniversary Mustang will be a wheels, badging and stripes package...."

BWAHAHAHAHA!

We oughta call it "Adhesive Marketing".

Throw on some stickers and badges and you get to tack on a few grand, and then the dealers get to soak the customers for a few thousand more. It's actually pretty smart I guess.

 

Hey the 35th Camaro got special embroidered leather headrests as well!

I am very curious to see how much $ this package adds to the GT. My guess is a couple thou'. I just really want to see the Mustang guys or original 35th bashers defend this one.

 

CS-V is at the NY show... hopefully it gets shown early... I'm interested in seeing if there are any other visual changes besides the wheels and the "V" badging... (not that it really needs any, IMO )

Maybe they'll give us a concrete price as well!

 

I think a mesh grill would look neat

 

Ya , I seem to remember some talk of that as well... Should be interesting to see the tweaks.

 

Please understand that I'm not bashing on the 35th anniversary guys, he!!, I paid ~$4500 for a hood, spoiler and some bigger wheels and tires.

Oh yeah... I got some SS stickers too.

 

I sure won't defend it!
I think it SUX.

We got screwed on the 20th anniversary models with a late-to-come stripe kit that ended up getting Ford sued by Shelby for the GT 350 name rights - and Shelby won too.

We got screwed on the 25th anniversary models even worse due to the suit. So most of the anniversary '89 models got a special dash pin with "25th anniversary" under the running horse... big whoop. The passenger could almost see what the letters say if he squinted hard enough. We had local dealer groups putting their own "special" 25th anniversary stripes on the lower rocker panels and tacking on a grand for it...

The 30th Anniversary occurred with the intro of the restyled '94 models. I guess they thought the new body was enough to quell the anniversary desires...

The 35th was a non-existant model too. So you get a 35th anniversary badge stuck on the fender of an otherwise stock Mustang. Again - woohoo. At least the T-birds got a super nice, VERY different looking and loaded 35th anniversary model before it's death.

I think ALL these car makers miss the boat when it comes to celebrating birthdays. Hell, I like the Centennial Convertible MUCH better than this 40th anniversary car.

Excuse me while I stop typing. I have to make a couple phone calls to the MCA and FoMoCo...

 

18s hopefully.
