Jack Florence from Fostoria Styling and Warren Veurink from Holland Auto Trim (upholsterer supreme) created this unique custom Mustang back in 1965 for Gerald Taggart based on a brandnew Mustang. Shown at the Cobo Hall, it caught the interest of Ford representatives and subsequently whisked from its appointed display position and made a part of Ford's impressive Custom Car Caravan display.

This was a completely roadable custom Mustang with rolled pans both front and rear. Both tail light assemblies, chromed lettering and horizontal strip sit in black landau material at the rear. Cibie high headlights with turn signal indicators built into their centers are amongst the front  alterations. 
No parking lamps were used. The side sculpturing line carries through to the front.

More soon on this site thanks to Mark Gustavson from the Lynx Project, a scale model project based on the famous Mercury and Ford custom and concept cars of the 6oies.

Check out some background info so far on another subpage.

Thanks to owner Ramon, we got some exclusive pictures of the former Ford Custom Car Caravan Mustang in its  condition as he found it on this website. These pics have never been published elsewhere.
The car's restoration was started in early 2005, the body has been shipped in November for a correct reconditioning. Due to a sponsoring problem the car had to be pulled from the body shop.
Meanwhile Ramon got in touch with Warren Veurink and Gerald Taggart as well as in March 2007 with Jack Florence, now being in his 80ies. All of them have promised to get together to help Ramon in his efforts and all of them want to see the car back on the show floor soon. 

Special thanks to Ramon M.

The car as it appeared in a Rod and Custom Magazine back in 1965.
We hope it will be shown soon in a special Ford X-Cars display
