Mustang Colt and Lady Mustang limited edition 1968 Mustang hardtop newspaper advertisement from Bill Marsh Ford of Newtown, Pennsylvania. We found this advertisement in the May 9th, 1968 edition of the Bucks County Courier Times of Levittown, Pennsylvania. It's a his and hers sale. Both Mustangs have names plates, numbered identification badges, bullet tip front fenders, and other upgrades. These special models appear to be mostly dealer added options and only offered at Marsh Ford. See the other photos of this set for more details.
The 1968 Mustang Colt features racy "C" stripe, bullet-tip front fenders, special Colt I.D. ornament, pop-open gas filler cap, special unique dashboard, special wheel covers, and whitewall tires. The Colt name plate appears to behind the rear quarter window where the Colt identification ornament (enlarged on in the lower left) is on the front fender. The exterior color of the Colt Mustang is not specified.

The 1968 Lady Mustang by Marsh Ford features a rich vinyl roof, "Lady Mustang" nameplate on door, T-Bird style "S" bar on roof, special unique dashboard, special wheel covers, special vanity mirror on drivers side, and bullet tip lights on front fenders. No specific exterior paint color is specified.

Here is a close-up of what the Mustang Colt badge should look like. It is off the 1965-67 Ford Country Squire station wagon and is about 2 inches across. Earlier use of this emblem included a round piece behind that is placed between this emblem and the car. We think, in this case, the horse head with riding crops emblem was used as is on the front fender, in front of the tire. This is where the 1966 Ford Country Squire placed the emblem.
    
Here's a special one! It's a Passionate Pink 1968 Mustang hardtop. The Passionate Pink (repaint) is the original color - the black hood stripes and hood scoop were added by the owner. Why is it painted pink? Probably because it was part of a dealer sales promotion. Both the Rainbow of Colors and Color of the Month promotions included this shade of pink. Since the DSO is not LA or San Jose and it wasn't built in San Jose, it's not the Rainbow of Colors. This was built in Dearborn and has a DSO of Cleveland (322391) and delivered to Beasley Ford in Columbus Ohio (dealer 42C001).
