Topic: Headliner color

[DKutz]

so far all I see is white.  No one else has anything else??

My 66 Fastback Pony interior (Oct, San Jose) code 62, has the off-white headliner; my 66 Hardtop standard interior (Oct, San Jose) code 26, is black; my 65 Fastback standard interior (Mar, San Jose) code 26 is black; my 66 Fastback standard interior (Mar, San Jose) code 25 was red (lives in Australia now). All visor colors match the headliner color.

thanks but wouldn't that depend on the interior color as well?  A black int erior would get a black headliner regardless of year or plant?

No.  On the earlier cars, I've seen plenty of early '65s with a white headliner, regardless of the color of the rest of the interior.  Since it was a running change when the color-keyed headliners were introduced, there's no absolute cutoff date.  I assume plants used up the white headliners they had on hand, and then started using colored headliners.

+1 plus those examples are a ways from when your car was built

That is true, and more or less confirmed from the 65 and 66 Ford Mustang Illustrated Facts Book from California Mustang which I believe is a reprint from Ford marketing documents. The 65 books pg 7 says ". . sun visors and the headlining in the hardtop are of white textured vinyl which emphasizes the spaciousness of the interior". (Definitely marketing talk.) The 2+2 Fastback section, which has a section on the GT, does not mention headliners but does list the rear fiberglass panes as color keyed.
You need input from forum members of early 65 Mustangs (hint).
