Description
Ford's third generation Mustang was launched in 1969, with a body that was larger in every dimension although the wheelbase remained unchanged at 108-inches. With quad headlamps, a more sharply raked windscreen and slightly lowered stance, the 1969 Mustang certainly looked the part. The Mustang was still sold in three body styles - convertibles, hardtop coupes and fastbacks (albeit renamed the Sportsroof) and was available with an expanded range of engine/transmission combinations. Inside, the Mustang came in for the most dramatic reworking yet, with twin 'pods' and on cars specified with the Deluxe Interior Group there was plenty of simulated woodgrain, full instrumentation and clock. Ford's luxury pack for the Mustang was the Grande, with Deluxe Decor Group with wire-wheel covers, twin colour-coded side mirrors, stripes and Grande lettering on the C-pillar. For a lot of Mustangs fans, the '69 is one of the best looking years.
