Second is the black-framed six-window car gallery in the middle of the playfield, showing a row of painted classic Mustangs under each other like a showroom wall. Third is the dark metallic blue fastback car painted across the lower playfield, sitting on top of a black MYSTERY panel with a Ford oval badge and a yellow SHOOT AGAIN button beneath it. Fourth is the strong diagonal orange-and-black speed-mesh checkerboard running the whole length, with chrome wireform ramp loops sweeping in from both sides.

A tall portrait photograph of a modern pinball playfield behind glass, lit dimly with strong red LED spill from the lower half. The upper third is dominated by a backbox title panel: huge white sans-serif block capitals spelling MUSTANG on a dark red-to-black smoky background, with a line of red script slogan text beneath it that is too blurred to read, and a bright blue-white 4-digit LED score display below. The playfield itself is a diagonal black-and-orange checkerboard speed mesh with orange and yellow flame/speed-streak artwork. A large yellow-outlined MUSTANG wordmark sits at upper centre, above a set of three white round bumper caps and a bank of drop targets reading 2, 3, 8, 5, 5, 8, 5, 5 in white on green and black panels. Mid-playfield is a black-framed six-panel car gallery with painted classic coupes and roadsters, flanked by chrome wireform ramps and posts. The lower playfield shows a metallic dark blue/grey fastback car over a large MYSTERY panel carrying a Ford oval badge, with a yellow SHOOT AGAIN button below. Yellow flippers, two gold circular posts, and yellow WARNING decals in the bottom corners complete the layout.

A photographic, airbrushed-style backglass dominated by two Ford Mustang cars and almost no characters. Upper half: a silver/champagne classic 1960s muscle fastback coupe, seen from a low three-quarter front-left angle, floating or leaping across a pale teal-to-white gradient background with its dark underside and rear wheels visible; large dark numerals reading 1965 are printed behind it at the top left, partly obscured by the car. Lower half: a deep metallic blue modern Mustang coupe, front three-quarter view facing left, with a black mesh grille, chrome pony badge in the grille centre, lit headlamps glowing white-yellow, multi-spoke alloy wheels, and a windscreen reflecting a city skyline. Oversized flowing cursive script reading Mustang, pale yellow-green with a dark outline, runs diagonally across the lower left over the blue car. A small oval Ford badge sits in the bottom left corner, a red and silver shield-shaped manufacturer badge in the bottom right, and a small square anniversary emblem box reading 50 YEARS with a crest sits at the top right. Cool blue, teal, silver and white dominate; heavy window reflections streak across the left side.

A 50 YEARS badge with a galloping horse sits top right beside a chequered flag, and a faint oversized year numeral is ghosted into the pale sky at upper left.
