Ride, Sally Ride

Directly in front of the instrument cluster, the three-spoke steering wheel is derived from the 1967 “prototype.” The previous generation’s wheel was positioned at a slight angle, whereas the new sits square on-center and provides great ergonomics. A black center hub with a horse and stripes logo emulates the original; a nice job adapting a previously-used design to meet modern safety standards.

In the 60s, some GT model Mustangs came adorned with aluminum trim across the entire dash. Today, collectors pay big dollars for these original pieces. Once again, Ford offers real aluminum panels as part of an available appearance package. The strips are horizontally ribbed, providing accents both visually and tactilely.
