Ford Mustang at Detroit Auto Show

OK, I know the show was over ages ago. But I wanted to get this out of my email and posted...

Ford had an adapted Mustang at the Detroit Auto Show, and a coworker of my husband's took a couple pictures of it:

If there was anything else, it was not noted by my husband's friend. He's AB though, so he wouldn't be sure what to look for.

Man, I missed that!! I was AT the show and activly looking for good cars for my son. I have some contacts at Ford. I'll check and see if I can get any other information and, if so, I'll post it here.

I like how the hand controls are padded with a foam-type cover. mine are just hard plastic like a signal or windshield wiper. is that just something they did? or are some controls like that?

Hey Amanda-

NPS brand controls have that nice padded handle. That's what I've got in my truck. I'm glad that they shop put those in instead of the MPD. They were the two that my driving eval. recommended. Glad they went w/the NPS.
