I've always driven my Mustangs year round?

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. ?

For most of this year, I've been totally focused on telling the story of the +Ford Motor Company  #Mustang , both old and new

After months of outward focus on 50 years of Mustang, this week we finally got to publicly share the work that Team Mustang has been doing for the past 4 1/2 years. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to help tell the story of the work of more than 500 people within Ford. 

Led by chief engineer Dave Pericak, program manager Prakash Patel, vehicle engineering manager Tom Barnes, marketing managers Steve Ling and Melanie Banker, chief creative officer J Mays, director of design for the Americas Moray Callum, design director Joel Piaskowski, exterior design manager Kemal Curic, interior chief designer Doyle Letson, interior design manager Bill Mangan, and so many more, this Mustang is the product of a clear vision for what this car should be. 

Ford's corporate leadership team also deserves thanks for enabling this car to happen despite it launching while we were still in the depths of the great recession. A tip of the hat to chairman Bill Ford, CEO Alan Mulally, COO Mark Fields, marketing chief Jim Farley, retired product development chief Derrick Kuzak and his successor Raj Nair. 

I can't wait to get behind the wheel of a deep impact blue Mustang EcoBoost with the performance pack. ?
