For nearly a decade, Ford has auctioned off custom cars in support of the Experimental Aircraft Association youth educational program. This year’s caught my eye:
“The Ford Apollo Edition Mustang salutes man’s greatest technological achievement, with the ingenuity, precision, and power that defined the spirit of American innovation,” said Edsel B. Ford II, a member of the Ford Board of Directors. “Inspired by the Apollo program, Ford Motor Company committed itself to including exhilarating power, cutting-edge technology, and extraordinary craftsmanship in this automobile, which will support the next generation of pilots in EAA’s aviation education programs for young people.”
The colors used on this car echo those used to paint the Saturn V rocket that carried men to the moon. I love it.
