Here are some pics of my just finished (yesterday) Branded Mustang.
By the way, in honor of the Mustang's 50th birthday in 2014, Building "T" at the Carlisle Ford Nationals will be filled with Special Edition Mustangs. Please PM me if you are interested in displaying your Special Edition Mustang. And please pass the word along. It will be a once in a lifetime experience to see 50 Special Edition Mustangs under one roof.
Thanks,
Fran Cosentino

More pics.

Looks very nice - you must be pleased with getting it finally finished
Will move the subject to the 67-68 area ;) so others, in the future will find your car with ease

I like the color combination. I also like the texture in the vinyl roof. What color is the exterior?

How were you able to replace/restore the unique vinyl top?

It is an NOS top. I have been scrounging around for them for years. I have 5 more - all different.
Thanks,

Pardon my ignorance--what is a Branded Mustang? :-[

I had the same question but was too ignorant to ask.
-
I've never seen such a mustang, the roof material looks like a pillowcase. Is this how the material feels or is it vinyl?
It looks very unique.

Being a Branded Mustang owner, here is what I know(or think I know)....
The Branded Mustang Kit was introduced in late 67-early 68(model year). The kit was used by dealers on new and used Mustang coupes. It could also be ordered for 65-66 coupes. The kit was was distributed by DSI Corp., Plymouth, Mich. directly to Ford Dealers. It consisted of:
Pre-cut, hand-sewn vinyl top - 15 different colors or patterns
2 Black and brass, or silver and black C-pillar emblems - marked left and right
Left and right Screw-On quarter moldings - with Ford part numbers
Pre-cut "Throughbred" stripes in five colors (Red, white, black, blue, gold)
Two cans of Mastic glue
Ford instruction guide
This all came in a 3 ft long shipping tube from DSI.
I have five complete kits with four still in their original shipping tubes. Two are 65-66 and the rest are 67-68. the tops are all different and range from "pretty cool" to ""butt ugly". Keep in mind - It was the 60's. I also have stripes in red, white and gold.
I have instructions, Throughbred stripe identification charts, order form, invoices from DSI, a copy of an introduction ad in a dealer publication, and a copy of an ad in the Washington Post, July 17, 1968 introducing Shelton Ford's exclusive "California Mod Mustang". It's a Branded kit without the emblems. I also have a pair of promotional Branded cufflinks.
They are vinyl tops, but they are textured to match the pattern.
Thanks,
Fran

First congrads on the car.
Did you find out who supplied the top for the kit? Looks like something that Acme would have done - in fact saw installation instructions of a similar/same top a couple of weeks back while discussing a related car/project

The name on the back of the vinyl top is Masland Duran. I will post some pics of the other tops and the kit.

I was able to post one pic. I guess they use too many megagigabiggabytes...

Did possibly the O.P. (Fran) sell this car? I've seen the same color BRANDED 67 Coupe in Atlanta in (2021) and again in Buffalo (2022) MCA shows. Current owner (Keith) lives near Pittsburgh.
