Show & tell is always better with the show part:

PS Was the gold color added to the image or is that the GT color?

I have the brochure, my thought looking at it, is that the color is "photoshopped"

Interesting that they would remove emblems for some images but not others.

Maybe cause the rear emblem is not copyrighted?

Rear Emblem?

What's up with the rear emblem? I like it! Any idea where it came from or is it part of the photoshop job?

That rear emblem comes from our friends down South - way down under in Australia. It' s a logo use on some Ford product down there. They pop up at Ford swapmeets here stateside sometimes (like Columbus, OH in April, or Carlisle, PA in June).

That gold color really doesn't do anything for me - I wouldn't buy it.

A few years ago, a member here on the forum (AZGT) got a BUNCH of them, and made them available. An OZ Falcon, if I recall.

Pretty dam cool no matter what color GT , Mothers could have chosen a zillion other cars for the advertising but they chose the GT , maybe one of the big wigs at Mothers owns a GT

I think they did it because GTs are still just sooo cool & always will be.
