But who gets to blow out the candles?
What’s believed to be a lightly-camouflaged 50th Anniversary Ford Mustang has been spotted out on a test drive just a few weeks before its expected debut at the 2014 New York International Auto Show.
The GT-spec ‘Stang features several retro styling cues to mark the occasion, including a unique grille with a horizontal chrome bar and corral around the Mustang logo, what appear to be rear quarter window louvers hidden under a black panel, and forked-spoke wheels reminiscent of the ones seen on

And rusting out, right?
My brother-in-law had one at that time and I swear, his car was the reason lemon laws were passed........LOL!
Bullitt me.
He may actually be doing something to protect them but I have no idea what as it seems like they haven’t rusted as badly as they should.
I will say they were far from perfect to start with.
I recall a few electrical issues behind that massive, swoopy cockpit style dashboard that were nearly impossible to get at without removing the whole thing but that’s all, it was a good car otherwise. Sounded nice, looked great, fast but a little tail-happy, you had to be careful even pulling out of a carwash.
That looks too much like a cut-down Aston Martin than a Mustang. That, and of all things, they brought back the Mustang II via the un-American Eco-Boost option.
If I want a European car, I don’t go to Ford. That is the case even if they have completely removed their American sized/priced models.
I’d like a ‘67 instead.
The Fusion doesn’t have the option that it deserves - the Mustang’s base v6.
Then again, Ford cant help putting in Eco-Boost and lopping off 2 cylinders to please environmentalists.
Looks like a Ford on Mitsubishi.

They should have just brought back the full-size late ‘60s body (Boss, fastback, etc.) and let it go at that.
Do they still play the blues in Chicago
When baseball season rolls around?
They don’t play baseball; not good baseball anyway.
Had my ‘71 Mustang stolen in 1981 in Detroit. Husband saw it going down the road. I cried for two weeks.
Pretty sure that is a “cat” reference and all, being a Jag.
It’s a line from Steve Goodman’s song “A Dying Cubs Fan’s Last Request”. Fun stuff.
LOL; I believe it. Great Americana has grown up around the futility of being a Cubs fan.
There’s a certain nobility about being the last boy scout troop in Stalingrad. I started rooting for the Cleveland Browns because I lived near Pittsburgh in the 70’s and could have used “Terrible Towel” PTSD as a legal defense.
The 64 1/2 was featured in a James Bond movie and launched the mustang to the US market.
Whatever some here say, our ‘09 GT/CS was a very cool car. It has now become an F-150 since we moved to the high Rockies and the 15 mile dirt road would have ruined that fine ride.
