2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary edition spied in Michigan

What you see lines up with what we learned shaking various trees almost a year ago. All the 50th anniversary Mustangs are white, and they're all GTs with the 5.0 Coyote V8. In an obvious nod to Mustang heritage, the grille gets a retro treatment, with the boxed pony and blades that extend laterally from it. In addition, this prototype's rear quarter windows are disguised, lending credence to the idea that the anniversary cars will sport louvered covers there,*a la*the original fastbacks.*Also new: this car's wheel design. Unfortunately, we didn't get a look at the interior...yet.

Cool. I know We've been talking about it in the Spy Shots thread since the 20th.

And the guys at M6G have been talking about it since the 20th too...

So basically it has the corral grille thats typically associated with V6 cars these days?

Those wheels are hideous also IMO.

It's really a Modern Version of This Car right down to the Wheels (Which I Love) The wheels are a Modern Interpretation of the 65 Mustang Styled Steel Wheels.

I like it. Looks like it has staggered wheels. I don't like black wheels but like the ones with some brushed (or polished) aluminum on them look nice

The wheels & grill inserts look Plasti-Dipped...Maybe to hide the chrome 64½ throwback until the official unveiling. One car has black wheels the other Brushed-->WHY?

Yes. The lugs and caps give it away.

Someone said it's the same car because of the number on the windshield. They probably just painted the wheels to try to disguise them like the Bar and Coral. They also tried to cover the Recessed Louvered Quarter Windows better after painting the wheels. I'm kind of expecting a Faux Gas Cap with a 50th Anniversary Logo to go on the Decklid too. Overall I think it's a very nice and tasteful Anniversary Package.
