Russell Crull may have found an Iowa/Illinois specially gold painted 1968 territorial special edition Mustang called the Golden Mustang Limited Edition. The special promotional Mustangs featured special gold paint, louvered hood, sport wheel covers, and a special Golden Mustang Limited Edition badge. Russell ordered a Marti report which confirmed that his car is a Golden Mustang and it was ordered by Bemis Motor in Oregon, IL and sold in April of 1968. Stay tuned for more information.

Newspaper advertisement we found for the 1968 Golden Mustang Limited Edition which was available at least in the Illinois/Iowa area. It says,
The Golden Mustang comes to Ford Country. America's unmistakable, favorite sports car. Specially painted Golden Mustangs for this area only. Special emblem. Special price. First come, first served. Some of the features shown are hood vent louvers, hood-mounted turn-indicators, floor-mounted stick, bucket seats, special gold paint, wheel covers, full carpet, whitewalls, and special emblem. The emblem is shown (probably in gold and black) with a star and the Golden Mustang Limited Edition lettering. We just got confirmation that these cars exist and have a blank paint code indicating a non-standard production special gold paint and that they were order in the Davenport Iowa area. We found this advertisement in the February 15th edition of the Monticello, Iowa, Express newspaper placed by Freese Motors. We also found the exact ad in the February 19th, 1968 edition of the Cedar Rapids Gazette in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; another by "Service Motor Sales" on 881 Wells Street, Burlington, Iowa; another at Winebrenner-Dreusicke Ford, 1 East College, Iowa City; one from Harold Triem Ford in Postville, Iowa; and one from Grant Williams Ford Sales 'FORDTOWN' on First ave east at 40th street, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Here is a newspaper advertisement we found showing a limited edition special called The Golden Mustang which was available at least in the Illinois/Iowa area. It says the Golden Mustang comes with special gold exterior, distinctive emblem, wheel covers, whitewalls, hood-mounted turn indicators, hood vent louvers - in addition to all standard equipment. Specially priced while they last. Because of the special gold paint, we'd expect the door data tag to have a 4 digit code following the DSO code (maybe 43 for Rockford or 45 for Davenport). This advertisement is from Myers Ford in the February 23rd, 1968 edition of the Freeport Journal, Freeport, Illinois. We found identical advertisements by Williams Ford of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and Fraher Ford of Pontiac, Illinois. If it were not for the "distinctive emblem", we would believe this to be an advertisement for the January Gold Color of the Month Mustang national special. As far as we know the Color of the Month specially painted Mustangs were not limited models and did not have special emblems.

Another newspaper advertisement for a special gold painted Mustang hardtop. This ad is from M&M Ford in the February 7th, 1968, edition of the Muscatine Journal of Muscatine, Iowa. This might be one of the January, Gold, Color of the Month promotional Mustangs, we are checking.
