DETROIT: Ford is bringing back the hood vent-integrated turn signals in the next Mustang.
In a nod to heritage and also fan requests, Ford has decided to make the popular feature as standard equipment for owners of the new Mustang GT. First offered on the 1967 Mustang, secondary indicators in the hood vents would come to represent an iconic piece of pony car DNA.
“Mustang enthusiasts are not shy about telling us what they want,” said Melanie Banker, Mustang marketing manager, “and we’re constantly exploring ideas together with our engineering team to develop new features we know our customers will love. These new hood vent indicators for the GT model are a perfect example of us communicating customer feedback to Mustang engineers and the team responding with an exclusive new feature for owners of the 2016 Mustang GT.”
The Mustang fastback and convertible will also welcome the return of the iconic California Special Package and Pony Package — two Mustang trim levels made popular in the 1960s. Several other new options, including new stripes and wheels, allow owners to make their pony car as individual as they are.
Last seen on the Boss 302, a painted black roof option is now available for the EcoBoost-equipped Mustang and Mustang GT.
Exclusive to Mustang EcoBoost Premium is a fresh take on the Pony Package which offers unique 19-inch polished aluminum wheels, tri-bar pony logo on the grille, side stripe and chrome window surround.
