In 1964, a very special Mustang fastback was sent to the paint shop to be coated in a pearlescent white finish with slim blue racing stripes over the top of the body and along the rocker panels. There was another, more subtle detail most people probably wouldn’t notice. The rear fuel filler cap, which was typically adorned with the galloping pony logo, featured the initials “EBF II,” for Edsel B. Ford II, great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford. Then-Ford Motor Company CEO and president Henry Ford II had this Mustang prepared as a gift for his son’s 16th birthday, which fell on Dec. 27, 1964.
