Wimbledon White vs. Oxford White

It was nice to have these two 2015's parked next to each other at the Mustang Memories Show:

I'm not sure which one I like better.... I'm surprised to see that they'll be offering more than one white color.

The white on the left is limited to the Limited Edition 50th anniversary model only.

WW is my favorite. If it had been offered on the 2014, I would have sold my soul to find one.

It was Ford's standard white in the 60's, going back from at least '64 into the 70's. It's the color that was seen most often in the early magazine ads for the Mustang, usually with a red interior. The 65 GT350 was only available in WW. Maybe that's why I love the color so much.

OW/PW are nice, but don't have the pop that WW does.

I was surprised that Ford only offered just 2 colors for the LE. Red should have been a choice too...Red/White/Blue like the TriBar emblem.

And here is the red interior in the OW Ecoboost car.

Those stock seats look quite decently bolstered, hardly the flat benches of past Mustangs. Might make the Recaros a slightly less necessary choice for the performance driver.

I never thought that WW was that much different than Oxford, now Im torn between the two.

thanks for the clarification. WW is nice but to me, it almost appears as if it has a slight tone in it. Nice color either way.

I like them both, but WW looks a bit too creamy to me. Kinda like a lot of the new GM and Dodge trucks you see lately.

The one on the left looks like a white window curtain, in smokers house after 3 years.

I usually dislike anniversary editions so I didn't even bother reading about this until I found out what it was. Wimbledon white is the color I fantasize about painting my GT. So glad they chose to bring it out, just wish you didn't have to order the 50th anniversary to get it although I understand why.

Just like the original Matchbox Mustang! Wimbledon White/Red interior. There was a warmth to it. Modern White is what I call "refrigerator white".




It was called
Polar White for Mercury.
