2003 40th anniversary mustang?

Question

the mustang was first sold in 1964 so the 40th anniversary mustang should be a 2004 but my parents just bought me a 2003 40th anniversary mustang. is this correct or did the person just put the 40th anniversary emblem on the mustang?

Answer 1

you are correct, the 1964 barracuda came out and then the mustang came out 2 weeks later. But prototype mustangs could've been around since 1963

Answer 2

A little history:

bbThere was no official 25th Anniversary model from Ford in 1989, even though this was looked into with several designs on body and performance modifications. In response Ford modified the running horse badge on the passenger side of the dash board, stating "25 Years" on the bottom of the badge. These badges were installed beginning in April 1989 for one year, until April 1990, the Anniversary model year. After April 1990, Ford kept the badges in place,without the "25 Years" portion. Ford also added "25 Years" water mark on the window sticker with the running horse badge during this time period.

In 1999, Ford produced a special 35th Anniversary Edition of the Mustang.

In 2004, Ford produced a special 40th Anniversary Edition of the Mustang. Available in both Standard and GT editions, it consisted of 40th Anniversary badging, enhanced interior, and a few "special" collectible items for the owner. It also marked the end of this design of the Mustang, as 2005 ushered in an all-new model.

Answer 3

2003 is 40 after 1964 since you have to use 1964 as 1, not 1965 like you were counting.
