Special Gold 1968 Golden Mustang Limited Edition Hardtop Advertisement

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.
