This is a newspaper advertisement we found for a used 1967 Branded Special Mustang hardtop at Weigand Ford in the April 5th, 1968 edition of The Daily Telegram of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The Branded Special consisted of a dealer added vinyl top with Branded emblem just behind the rear quarter window along with other dealer ordered options. They were options added to used 65-68 Mustang - in this case a V8 engine, automatic transmission, radio, special tires, and of course the vinyl roof. The Branded vinyl roof has a paisley pattern. Most paisley vinyl roofs were dark but had a gray or other dark color geometric pattern.

Check out this Branded Mustang ad. The Branded options were dealer added on used 1965-68 Mustangs. This dealer ad is from Ashley Ford, in Benton Harbor, Michigan. The ad was shown The News - Palldaium newspaper on January 24, 1969. This ad documents some interesting facts about the option that I haven't seen before. It says that the vinyl tops could be in four patterns - Paisley, Sculptured, Tweed, or Leather. They also came in 15 different colors. Or you could get just white or black. The stripes came in five different colors. And the emblems came in either a gold or silver color finish. Another interesting item is that this dealership offered the Branding option to a your own Mustang if you brought it in.
