This Wimbledon White Mustang hardtop is a two page spread right inside the front cover of the 1964 Ford Mustang promotional booklet. The text reads, New Ford Mustang ... a totally new king of total performance Ford! This is the car you never expected from Detroit. It is so distinctively beautiful it has received the Tiffany Award for Excellence in American Design, the first automobile ever to be so honored by Tiffany & Co. Mustang has the look, the fire, the flavor of one of the great European road cars. Yet it is as American as its name... and as practical as its price. Mustang is the newest expression of Ford's policy of creating contemporary classics. In the Mustang Ford has created a totally new car for a new generation of Americans... to more completely answer modern American needs and tastes. You have rarely seen an automobile from Detroit to match Mustang's styling beauty at any price. Yet Mustang's prices is so unexpectedly low, you'll find it hard to believe - even harder to believe when you add up all of the standard equipment which the low Mustang price includes!

Wimbledon White 1964 Mustang hardtop featured at it's debut at the World's Fair in this magazine advertisement. It it titled, Mustang - exciting new car from Ford Motor Company... show stopper at the World's Fair The ad goes on to say,
We think we have pretty fair grounds for showing off our Mustang at the World's Fair. The wonderland setting, our "wonder" car and the Ford Motor Wonder Rotunda go together to sum up our feelings about new product ideas at Ford Motor Company. We plan them - from a standpoint of over-all design and engineering - to be nothing short of wonderful.
Like the Mustang, each of our new cars starts as an original idea, designed to answer your needs in a fresh, distinctive and satisfying way. Then we use the most advanced manufacturing and testing techniques to translate the idea into a fine-quality product.
It's this kind of engineering excellence - from the start of an idea on - that puts tang in the Mustang, thunder in the Thunderbird and zest in all the rest of our Ford-built cars.
When you visit our Wonder Rotunda at the Fair, you'll find another example of how we do things with extra flair. We seat you inside a new Ford-built convertible and whisk you over a Magic Skyway that takes you from the prehistoric past far into the city of the future.
It's a trip that surpasses all expectations - which is what we want for you, at the Fair and in all the products we build.

Wimbledon White 1966 Mustang with a Sprint Package 200 A, 120 hp (at 4400 rpm), 200 cubic inch, inline 6 cylinder engine. Due to the popular demand of the 289 cubic inch V8, 1966 Ford introduced the "Sprint Package 200" followed by what we think might have been an "A" for automatic transmission and "B" for manual. Ford was not very proud of this solution to the engine shortage so the Sprint Package threw in several standard option upgrades for free (center console, courtesy lights, side accent paint stripe color matched with the car's interior, and the deluxe wire-style wheel covers) and advertised the package as a "Limited Edition". The engine on all models came with decal that read "Mustang Powered Sprint 200" on the chrome air cleaner. Most books have the "A" Sprint option listed as Manual transmission and "B" as Automatic. This car is an "A" model according to the invoice and appears to have an automatic transmission although the data tag is hard to verify. We also have a 1968 Sprint with the same situation but the invoice clearly states Sprint "A" and automatic transmission.

Wimbledon White 1966 Mustang hardtop owned by Dani Joyce from Australia. This is an awesome shot! It was our featured Attitude Of The Week for the week starting August 28, 2011. Dani tells us, "This a very original unrestored 66 coupe. It was built in San Jose, California on 7 Feb 1966. It was imported to Australia in 2010 and I bought it a week after it arrived in the country. The car even arrived with the original pink slip and several US Nationals Parks passes. The car was purchased in the US from the same family who bought the car originally. It is an excellent example of the classic icon."
