This is a 1968 Mustang hardtop with special order paint Caribbean Coral (
WT9012) which was used in two 1968 promotions. This color was called Eastertime Coral for the April
Color of the Month promotion, and it was called Caribbean Coral for the 1968 to 1969 west coast
Rainbow of Colors promotion. The
Rainbow of Colors promotion allowed new Mustang owners a discount on sport options and one of 13 special order paint colors.
