The vinyl tops were pretty wild, with paisley and flower patterns. One of the emblems was a round "Branded" emblem that was typically placed on the vinyl top behind the side rear quarter window. The other emblem was a shield shaped "Branded ID" emblem on the front fender - up near the triangle vent window.

Ford couldn't export the Mustang to Germany because they couldn't register the name there. So they exported the T-5 Ford instead. The "Mustang" worded emblems were removed, and "T-5 Ford" emblems were installed. T-5s were sold in Germany from 1964 through the 1979 model year.

Other Special Models

There are several 1967 special model Mustangs we are working on. Many of these special models were considered Territorial Special Promotional Mustangs with special exterior paint colors. One of these territorial Mustangs may have been called a Twister Special offered in Cajun Red or Lavender and in the Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana area.
Not to be outdone by the San Jose Mustang plant that came out with 50 Anniversary Gold One-Millionth Production Anniversary Mustangs, each of the Ford Mustang manufacturing plants specially painted some 1967 Anniversary Gold Mustangss although each plant had its own version of the color.
One national special promotional Mustang was the Emerald Green Saint Patrick's Day Special Model which came out in March and in High Country Special Timberline Green exterior paint.

The Diamond Blue Mustang was a very light blue with an exterior color code of N.
