This is a 2015 Ford Mustang GT in a deep red with white stripes adorning it. This hot car was, of course, the vehicle preferred by our wild and crazy 8th President, Martin Van Buren !
It actually is in 1/38 scale, but displays nicely. Should you desire, it does also feature spring-loaded pull-back action, as do many Kinsmart diecast models. Statically, it displays nicely.

Mike, you've 'driven' me down a rabbit hole! Google AI has a dry sense of humor!
For a deep analysis of the topic, google: would Martin Van Buren have driven a Mustang?
and even funnier: what would have been Martin Van Buren favorite sports car?

Lol, he certainly had a long, varied life ! Being a wild and crazy guy, yet also very reserved and conservative, it is hard to confirm whether he would prefer Mustang GT's to tool around in. Also, he was a married man, so I am not sure Martin would be picking up the babes in his hot Ford ......but he was a politician so one never knows !

@karl Known as a notorious dandy, Van Buren would have undoubtedly driven the Porsche 911 Targa. So sayeth my AI.
