In album Edsel Ford’s First Mustang

Several months ago while searching for something else in the +Ford Motor Company archives I stumbled across these images

I had been looking for photos of the 1960s German-market #Mustang  known as the T5. At first glance, with the fender-mounted mirrors I thought this was an example of a T5. It wasn't until I zoomed in on the rear gas cap which I expected to be marked as T5 that I noticed it actually said EBF II (aka Edsel B. Ford II, great-grandson of Henry).

After a bit more research, I determined that Dec. 27, 1964 was Mr Ford's 16th birthday. He granted me an interview, where I learned that his father Henry Ford II, had the design studio prepare this one-off Mustang fastback for him. ?
