Not much changed in 1966 for the Mustang, as it continued in production with much sales success and only minor restyling that included the emblem in the center of the grille. Now a "floating" mustang with no more horizontal or vertical dividing bars. Also new was trim on the rear fender that featured three chrome pieces that led into the simulated side scoop. This was also the first year for federally mandated safety and the new '66 mustang was factory equipped with front and rear seat belts. Also standard was; padded instrument panel, emergency flashers, electric wipers and windshield washers, emergency flashers, buckets seats, sporty steering wheel, heater/defroster, carpeting, five dial instrument cluster, driver side mirror, back-up lamps, door courtesy lights, full wheel covers, rocker moldings, and 3-speed manual transmission.
