Body Styles (compare years, see more 1990 style information including Special Models)

Coupe

Hatchback

Convertible

In 1990, the Mustang continued to offer three body styles (coupe, hatchback, and convertible) and two engines (2.3L 4-cycle, and 5.0L V8). The main options were LX or GT, with the LX having the option to upgrade to the 5.0L engine. This upgrade also added a 5.0 fender badge and dual exhaust. A special edition convertible with Deep Emerald Green paint, white interior, GT wheels, and the 5.0L V8 was introduced late in the model year. The 1990 Mustangs also featured a 25 anniversary tri-bar pony dash emblem, which was also present in most late 1989 models. Additionally, driver side air bags and rear seat shoulder belts became mandatory in 1990. This was the last year for the ASC McLaren convertible modification, which started in 1987.

** Thanks stangmata of foxbodyforum.com for confirming this color.
We guessed there was no Ultra Blue 1990 Mustangs due to errors and
differences in references for 1990-1992. We use actual owners and yearly
Mustang promotional booklets to confirm.
