Paying homage to the Mustang on its 60th anniversary, in April, Ford whipped the wraps off a special-edition version of the new generation (in convertible guise). Now the Blue Oval brand is continuing the celebrations, introducing yet another anniversary package to honour the iconic ‘Mustang’ namesake, which not only features a raft of model-specific items, but also revives the ‘Classic Brittany Blue’ body hue.

“[The] Mustang has thrived for 60 years by taking risks and giving customers something a little bit different, a little bit more special than you’d get elsewhere … By dropping a colour like this, we’re giving customers a chance to stand out even among the rarefied ranks of Mustang 60th Anniversary owners,” says Mustang brand manager Joe Bellino.
