AMERICAN FORDS
MUSTANGS

The Ford Mustang Fastback 2+2 was the most popular car in my collection. Cogi Toys made a few variations, there was the original standard model in metalic silver and one in metalic dark blue both with light brown interior and a little Corgi dog in the rear window ! Then there was the racing model (pictured above) in white with twin red racing stripe on the one side across the car. All of these had the classic wire spoke rims with standard rubber tyres.
There was also a "Flower Power" light blue model with Hippie flower decoration in red and yellow. This model had
wide rubber tyres on mag spoke rims.
The Mustang models all had opening doors and jeweled headlights.
