2009 FORD MUSTANG “GLASS ROOF” REVEALED

2009 FORD MUSTANG “GLASS ROOF” REVEALED

Ford has released images and details on the 2009 Mustang that’s pretty much a carry over the 2008 model, which is quite logical as the American carmaker gears up for the new 2010 Mustang that will be unveiled at the LA Auto Show in November. The most important additions for 2009 is the availability of the factory-installed glass roof option on both the V-6 and GT models for USD$1,995 and the return of the “Warriors in Pink” package designed to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

As Ford is celebrating the Mustang’s 45th Anniversary this year, all V6 and GT versions will feature special fender badging. The only new package for the 2009 model is the GT Security Package that includes an active anti-theft system and wheel locking kit while another small change is the addition of a new Brilliant Silver clearcoat metallic colour. –
