1964 Ford Mustang Convertible by Franklin Mint

Here it is. The sporty curves of the first generation 1964½ Ford Mustang. That innovative , youthful  "mean machine" that caused a frenzy among new car buyers in 1964. Those some clean lines that defined the term "ponycar"- and still causing a sensation today - are all recaptured in this 1:43 replica by Franklin Mint.
The legendary Ford Mustang combined good looks with four-seater capability and the retail price of an economy car. Although  Ford called the first Mustang the 1965 model, and it was referred to all advertising as the 1965, it actually came out inApril of 1964 - and it is always referred to as the 1964½ Mustang by people who know.
This Franklin Mint  is just like the original painted in the car´s original factory color - Rangoon Red.  From the signature "Pony" grille emblem and th unmistakable Mustang tailights to the ferocious V-8 engine and complete  undercarriage, every feature is state-of-the-art in die-cast engineering of 90´s. Details are not so razor-sharp like on todays models (Mininichamps, Ixo...) but quality of paint and chrome is unbeatable! The model will look great even for another twenty years!
