1965 Ford Mustang GT | Manchester

A 1965 Ford Mustang GT, from the generation that launched the pony-car class. The Mustang is liked for its long bonnet and short rear deck, and the GT was the V8 equipment package, marked out by grille fog lamps and rocker stripes. This car is red with a white interior, a bright pairing that stands out in front of a camera. It is in very good condition. It is left-hand drive, which gives it an American look on screen: the driver sits on the kerb side, so the front passenger steps out on the road side. The long bonnet and 1960s lines suit period film and TV, advertising and music video, and give photographers strong full-car angles as well as close-ups of the grille. Red against white works for fashion and editorial shoots and for events, where the colours read clearly at a distance. A wedding or birthday hire gets the same colour and character. The car is based in Manchester.
