Following Frank Reed's Matchbox/Dinky post, here is another from that maker, a 1967 Mustang.

It's more than 30 years old now, so perhaps the overly shiny wheels and limited detail can be forgiven. More recently, some improved versions were made by Premium X:

Premium X PRD367J 1967 Mustang
Premium X PRD369J 1968 Mustang

PX lists the blue one as a '67 and the red as a '68. However, the side vents are not quite correct for a '67, and I seem to recall a minor issue with the '68 but I don't remember what is was. I think the folks at Ixo were trying to kill two birds with one stone. But the hoods and wheels are different.

I like these!  I commuted in a short series (3 plus one Cougar) for years, and I liked them.   Right now I'm waiting for a Starter kit, 1/43, of a '64.  Fun!

@d-m-holcombe Remember to scrub that resin before painting David!

Here are some photos of a 1968 Mustang Fastback from Minichamps.  A nice model at a reasonable price. I purchased it in 2013 or 2014.

@ed-davis That's a nice one too. Wish I had bought every color back when they were new. They also made the Bullitt car.
