Today's car of the day is from Ethanator's collection, and is Hot Wheels Collectibles' 2004 Ford Mustang GT Convertible Concept.

The concept 2004 Mustang GT coupe and convertible were debuted at the 2003 North American International Auto Show. They were designed after the production 2004 Mustang was finalized to gauge public reaction to the design. The design of the Mustang was created from scratch, the first in 23 years. However, the latest version draws heavily on the design both the 1967-1968 Mustang and Shelby GT 350/GT500. Ironically, the original Mustang was an American interpretation of European design aimed at the youngest, fastest-growing segment of the market - Baby Boomers - while the latest version interprets American design through a European lens for aging Baby Boomers. The 2-seater Mustang GT was powered by a 400 hp supercharged 4.6L V-8, mated to a 6-speed manual in the coupe and a 5-speed automatic transmission in the convertible. The hood has twin scoops sitting in a U-shaped channel, topped by separate body color panels. This elongates the hood section, creates tailored character lines that flow into the instrument panel's twin cowl upper section, and provides cold air ducting the supercharged V8.

Notable features on the Mustang GT include 20-inch wheels, a nose which leans forward, and a side scoop. For the first time in the Mustang's nearly 40-year existence, the scoop is a fully integrated design element that creates a triangular opening, and flows forward along the chamfered lower body line. The interior is trimmed in red leather, black accents, brushed aluminum, and borders on parody with red leather racing style seats draped over black forms atop aluminum pedestals. Similarly, the dash pad "eyebrows" overlook a metal band containing the gauges and vents, and the red lower section. The tail section divides lights into three units on either side of a large badge reminiscent of early Mustang filler caps.

:toy: That is a pretty red Mustang convertible (concept) from Hot Wheels. It is a nice release from Hot Wheels - probably even had it in my collection at one time. :wave:
