1967 and 68 had these nearly flush mount, concave, triple rear tail lights. Before 67 they were convex (bowed out in the middle). Take a look at a preview of all Mustang rear views.
    
Rear left view of the 1967 Dusk Rose pink Mustang hardtop. It was late on the second day of the show. So I got in free, but a lot of the cars were already gone.
    
Cool right side of a Dusk Rose pink 1967 Mustang hardtop.
Probably aftermarket spinners. The spinners were stopped in late 1966 production due to government safety concerns. I don't think they came back in 1967.
The blue and red pin stripes on the car were great. Even in the rain.
Could this be one of the Chicagoland 1967 Limited Edition 400 Mustangs? A viewer sent us this photo set of his Mustang with a non-standard gold paint under the later added white. It also has rear panel holes where a badge might have been. A Marti report might confirm more since the door data tag is missing due to a door replacement.

View of the interior, the yellow paint on the door frame was added later.
Here is a view of the original paint just behind the front fender. It appears to be one of the anniversary golds which were specially ordered.
This is one of two advertisements we found for the Nebraska Centennial Special Hardtop Sports Sprint edition 1967 Mustang which included one of four "Special Centennial colors", 6-cylinder engine, white sidewall tires, full wheel covers, functional louvered hood, rocker panel moldings, chrome air cleaner, decal and vinyl covered shift lever (for automatic transmissions), and optional luggage rack. The four "Special Centennial colors" are named Centennial Blue, Lincoln Green, Summer Wheat, and Big Red. The advertisement shown has parts of a full page by O'Shea-Rogers Motor Co in the March 26th 1967 edition of the Lincoln Star Sun. See the third image for the complete ad. We have not found one of these Mustang's yet but would expect them to have a 6 digit DSO code staring with a 54 for the Omaha Nebraska ordering district and a blank paint code.
Here is a full view of the lower part of the Nebraska 1967 Centennial Special Hardtop Mustang listing the included Sports Sprint options as well as the Ford Custom 500 Centennial White Sale Special in Brittany Blue or Wimbledon White.

This is a one-off Wimbledon White 1967 Mustang Shelby GT-500 Super Snake prototype car. It was built by Shelby with the intentions of building more. But... it would be too expensive (2x that of the normal Shelby, and more than the 427 Cobra) for the public to purchase, so they only built one. This Shelby was placed on eBay back in 2008 for $3M, but did not sell. It did, however, sell in 2013 for $1.3M at a Mecum auction. (Photos are from Mecum). Why was it built? Many reasons. The GT500 was outselling the GT350 and Goodyear wanted a high speed event to advertise its new Thunderbolt tires. The engine was a 600hp 427ci from the GT40. The fog lights have special chrome surrounds and the blue LeMans stripes are unique.
    
And those are actual 7.75x15" Goodyear Thunderbolt tires. As the story goes, this car ran 500 miles at an average speed of 142mph on Thunderbolt tires in the initial advertising campaign event.
That is a special built 427ci Mk II engine from a GT40. Other modifications include external oil cooler, braided lines, remote oil filter, stiffer springs and shocks on the passenger side (for the oval track event), special rear axle, special transmission, and special exhaust system.
