While I did take more photos than just the 2015 Mustang, I spent the most time at the Ford display and with the three vehicles on the floor.

I tired to check on the ride height with the old "measure with your fingers" trick and take a photo of the underside. There are definitely better pictures from the auction of the underside already posted. I specifically was trying to see if the driveshaft was a 2-piece or 1-piece configuration.

I have been leaning toward race red as my color choice, but when I saw the 2-tone leather in the Magnetic (my second favorite) convertible, the needle started tilting away :)

Nice pics! I know there was a lot of debate over triple yellow but it looks great in your photos.

On the yellow car, the distance from the front tire to the metal was 4 fingers wide, while in the rear it was 3 fingers. I couldn't get positioned good enough to see the driveshaft.

Cool pics. For those of us that may not be as familiar, how does the wheel gap compare to the current car?

Great photos, Tony. Thanks for sharing!

I see the door of the magnetic vert open. Anyone allowed inside?

Unfortunately no. The commoners such as myself had to stay off the platform :)

What did you think of the interior color of the magnetic car?

I am not a fan of the two-tone look and especially with the brown and charcoal. Maybe some versions will look OK, but I haven't seen one yet.

Looked better in person to me than in the photos. JarStang, any impressions from you?

I like it but it appears more rust colored than the current saddle brown. It should look especially nice paired with Magnetic or Guard. I also like the two toned seats. The way Ford has chosen to do it front to back looks unique and does a good job of breaking up bolder colors that may overwhelm the interior. Along with it being more contoured (and more comfortable I might add), I feel the two-tone seats also give the impression of being slimmer viewed from the side, as the front color wraps slightly.

I'd have to say my favorite are the white seats however, as the white/charcoal combination looks fantastic. It's too bad the doors were locked on the Guard vehicle:

That is my target color combo right there! I'll take black if the recaros can't come in white, but that is mighty purty! Excellent photos!

Last Saturday at the public show opening day, it was not there.
