FORDMustang Convertible 2009 - 2013

　　After 45 years on the market, the Mustang was still the king of the pony-cars and managed to attract many buyers into Ford's showrooms around the world.

　　Ever since its first generation, the Mustang was available with a rag-top option. While its coupe or fastback version was meant for performance and speed, the open-top version was about styling. Ford offered the Mustang with a folding fabric roof, and its customers appreciated it more than the practical metallic roof.

　　Ford introduced the fifth Mustang generation in 2005 and, after four years, it brought a facelifted version. It was a good time since the economy started to get back on its feet after the world economic crisis. The convertible version received a more aggressive grille, enhanced with the first new Mustang emblem since the car's introduction in 1964. Both the V6 and the GT had new sculptured front-end designs, unique for each model. The headlights featured integrated lamps and turn-signals into one unit. The V6 version featured fog lamps on the lower bumper area, while the GT had them installed in the upper grille, similar to those from the 1967-1968 model. The Mustang showed new LED taillights in the back, which resembled the original design with three vertical lamps.

　　Like its non-facelifted version, the Mustang cabriolet kept the roof behind the rear seats, which were pushed forward to accommodate the canvas-roof assembly behind them. The owner could have covered it with a tonneau and make the car looks sleeker while still keeping the car's retro-design classic look.

　　Under the hood, Ford offered more power for the V-6 and the GT versions. Both engines were paired as standard to a five-speed manual, while a five-speed automatic was on the options list.
