History of Mustang through the Newspaper's Eyes 10.29.2011     Looking through local newspapers in the US and Canada between 1964 to 1970 has allowed us to put together a different type of history of the Mustang. It is a history of the Mustang through the eye's of the newspaper with a focus on Mustang advertisements. This is an interesting view of the Mustang throughout the years because we can see what was important each year through photos, graphics, models, written text, phrases, etc. Most unexpectedly it also shows an interesting view of why styles changed and how special promotions created special and limited edition Mustangs.1969 Mustang 4.1 Litre Special 9.21.2011 Ever hear about the 1969 Mustang 4.1 Liter Special?

All models were hardtops, had this special blue and white exterior paint, 200ci 6-cylinder engine, full wheel covers, and an AM radio.

The 1967 Mustang Blazer Limited Edition Hardtop 5.30.2011  We found many newspaper advertisements for the newly discovered 1967 Mustang Blazer Limited Edition Mustang which featured Lime Gold exterior paint, black vinyl top, personalized interior nameplate, and Blazer exterior nameplate. This was a local limited edition Mustang for the Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Maryland area from mid November to mid December of 1966.
