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.

I photographed this Seafoam Green 1968 Mustang hardtop at the 2010 MCA Grand Nationals held just outside Seattle in Bellevue, Washington. Seafoam green is one of my favorite Mustang colors, and the color on this car was very impressive. This car also has a pin stripe, wire wheels, and a 289ci V8 engine.

This is the 200ci 115hp in-line 6-cylinder engine. The engine is small. You can see the ground on both sides.
(from page 64 of the 1968 Collection)
The interior is white. It has an aftermarket console. I bet that steering wheel is difficult to keep clean.

Ever hear about the Mississippi, Louisiana 1968 Dixie Special limited edition Mustang? Neither did we until we discovered this series of newspaper advertisements from several Mississippi and Louisiana dealerships between February 27th and March 29th of 1968. This ad was placed by Swartzfager Ford in the March 15th, 1968 edition of the Laurel Leader-Call in Laurel Mississippi. From this ad we see that the Dixie Special was a limited number of specially built Mustang, Fairlane hardtop, and Ford XL fastbacks for the Dixie area. From the other advertisements in this set we see that the Dixie Special included a special paint job, a Dixie Special license plate, and an emblem on every unit. It doesn't appear that just one color was used since this advertisement says
Special Colors. From the last ad we know that at least one was a light yellow and most of the ads state a Mustang hardtop. We also think the Dixie Special emblem is the 11 star badge with the Dixie Special lettering shown at the bottom of each ad. Probably 11 stars for each of the states in the original Confederate Union. Now the hunt is on to find one of these Mustangs!
Could this be one of them? The DSO, date, and special color matches. This ad shows some new 68 Ford cars on a car carrier. The two Mustangs on top look like GTs. They have the fog lights in the grille and C-stripes on their sides. It is interesting that they have the economy dog-dish style hub caps. Many of the 60s cars were ordered this way.

The is one of the earlier advertisement we've found for the Dixie Special Mustang which was placed by Swartzfager Ford in the February 29th, 1968 edition of the Laurel Leader-Call in Laurel Mississippi. We think this is a Ford designed ad for the Dixie Special since we also found the exact ad used by several dealers in the area including Reliable Ford of Ruston, Louisiana. This ad mentions the Dixie Special emblem and the special paint.
