1968 Mustang

In 1968 newly introduced Federal regulations mandated front and back side markers
on the car. This, alone, made it easier to determine a 1967 Mustang from a 1968. The
1968 Mustangs have side markers, while 1967 models do not.

The 1968 Mustang also featured a new two-spoke energy-absorbing steering wheel along
with federally mandated shoulder belts. No doubt, the 1968 Mustang was designed to be
safer than previous models, both inside and out.

1968 Model-Year Highlights
* First Mustang with Front and Rear Side Markers
* FORD Lettering Removed from Hood
* Rear View Mirror Attached to Windshield Instead of Frame
* New 302 Cubic Inch V-8 Engine Available
* First Mustang with Shoulder Belts

Other firsts for the 1968 Mustang included a suspended mirror which was attached to the
windshield. In previous years, mirrors were attached to the vehicle frame. The 1968 model
also featured the word “Mustang” in script style lettering instead of block letters, and the
word “FORD” was removed from the hood of the car.
