LEE IACOCCA UNVEILS LIMITED EDITION MUSTANG

Car Celebrates 45 Years of Muscle and Magic

Forty-five years after he introduced the original Ford Mustang, launched at a dramatic press conference at
the 1964 New York World’s Fair, auto industry visionary Lee Iacocca today announced a new version of the
famous muscle car – the Iacocca Silver 45th Anniversary Edition Ford Mustang – a breathtaking vehicle that
utilizes the latest in Ford performance technology with a style and panache that screams, Mustang fastback.
Only 45 “2009½” Iacocca Silver Edition Mustangs – all painted a special “Iacocca” chosen silver hue – will be built.

Nearly two years in the making, the Iacocca Silver Edition Mustang is a collaborative effort by Iacocca, designer
Michael Leone, and Gaffoglio Family Metalcrafters, the world-class coachbuilding and Design Company in Fountain
Valley, Calif. The new business venture is called I Legacy, and it will be in concert with Galpin Ford, the exclusive
Ford dealership to offer these Iacocca Silver 45th Anniversary Edition Ford Mustangs to the public.

In a word, the new Iacocca Silver Edition Mustang is stunning. The lines flow organically from front to rear. The
hand-crafted piece of rolling art, with its innovations and impact of the fastback design is truly exceptional in every
way. With its sunken headlights, slanted grill and low stance, the car gives you “street attitude.”

“Once in a while a car comes along that changes everything, and that was the original Mustang,” said Iacocca.

The Silver Edition Mustang perpetuates the Iacocca mystique.

The car begins life on a 2009 Mustang platform, which is then uniquely modified and coachbuilt. While the exterior
fastback design of the Iacocca Silver Mustang is compelling, the mechanical underpinnings are true American muscle.

The car's suspension has been upgraded to keep pace with the power delivery. A Ford Racing Handling Package
adds firmer springs and re-valved shock absorbers. A 14-inch Ford Racing Braking Package is optional. All
suspension components will be covered under a factory Ford warranty, as well.

Inside the Iacocca Silver Mustang, the interior is resplendent with luxurious touches that highlight the car's special
heritage, including Iacocca Diamond Design leather seats with embroidery stitching, an Iacocca signature dash
plaque with serial number, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with “I” badge, and Iacocca-badged aluminum door
sill plates.

The “Father of the Mustang” returns to the legend that started it all.

Hunting for a shop to hold the cars I already have! I talked to a Hudson collector at a Mid-Century Modern house tour ... He had 56 Hudsons and had storage issues too. :-)

It would not be on your way to Michigan ... unless you're taking a very circular route! :-) It's just off Indiana State Highway 32 on the southeast side of Crawfordsville.

Yeah ... it would be on the way if you were heading for Illinois. I do go that way on occasion to avoid Chicago when I make my trips to the UP.
