This Deep Emerald Green 1990 5.0L Mustang LX convertible is a 25th Anniversary limited edition. Also known as the 7-Up Edition, because it was suppose to be a 7-Up promotion as well. Check out the 7-Up license plate.

Here is a close-up of the 7-Up license plate.

Check out this shot of Rob Powell's Emerald Green 1990 Mustang LX 7-Up Limited Edition convertible. It's our featured Attitude Of The Week for the week starting June 23, 2013. We caught up with Rob and his Mustang at a car show in Peoria Heights, Illinois. This was also a 25th Anniversary Model. Originally only 30 of these were to be produced, but the 7-Up contest was canceled. Instead, 4103 of these Deep Emerald Green Mustang convertibles were made. They all had white interiors, color matched side moldings, 16-spoke wheels from the GT, and the 5.0L engine.

Rob has a copy of the 7-Up contest flyer which he displayed with his Emerald Green 1990 Mustang LX 25th Anniversary Edition. Check out later photos for close-ups of this flyer.

Right side of Rob's Emerald Green 1990 7-Up Edition Mustang LX convertible. These actually started life as notchback coupes. They were converted to convertibles by Car & Concepts out of St. Louis, Missouri.

This 5.0L engine is about as stock as it gets.

Check it out! This is the 7-Up Mustang contest flyer. They advertised $20,000,000 in prizes! 1 in 12 bottle caps were winners. There were "instant win" caps where you could a 7-Up Spot stuffed animal or a special Wilson 7-Up basketball. Some caps said, "If the winning score is xx you win a Mustang" - you could win one of 30 Emerald Green 1990 Mustang convertibles (like Rob's). All you had to do was match your cap's score with the winning team's score in the final college basketball championship game.

Here's another version of the rules. This was probably a card that you could pick up where you purchased your 7-Up products.

Check out this Black 1990 25th Anniversary 5.0L LX convertible with aftermarket wheels. Many 1989 and 1990 Mustangs were designated as 25th Anniversary Mustangs. Look for the special badge on the dash. This car was photographed at the 2010 Mustang car show in Port Angeles, Washington. It was a little rainy, so the top is up.

Can't quite see the whole car, but you can see the luggage rack which was part of the 25th anniversary convertible. Those are aftermarket wheels.

Here is a close-up of the 25th Anniversary Mustang dash badge found on all Mustangs built from April 1989 to late in the 1990 production year.

This 1990 magazine ad shows an Oxford White 1990 Mustang LX convertible. It is "For those who like to raise the roof every now and then." It says that the power roof is "as exhilarating to open up as its feisty 2.3L engine." That is an interesting comparison.
