I believe these are from the Le Mans 24 programs in '67 & '68 ?

They are advertisements to sell mustang in France in 1968. By using the victories of Ford at Le Mans in 66 and 67.  ;)

This looks like a photo shoot for a fashion magazine, any idea on the country the tag is from ?

The plate looks either British or German, but I’m not sure what they looked like at that time.
Nothing beats a classic!

French licence plate - last 2 digits 75 (pre-2009) stand for Paris area.
Henri Chemin (PR manager of Ford France) used to link Mustangs promotion to the fashion world (and sports or racing of course)

It has the clear lenses on the front blinkers.  Not sure what color that interior is.  Don't remember $hit brown being an option.   :o

2112, you might be right, old school cut and paste  :-\  the girl on the right in particular looks like she was cut out and placed on the image.

That's what I was thinking when I posted that there were a couple of things wrong with that photo. 

Vintage airbrushing to the interior and some of the car's paint, at the very least. 

The headlights, though not illuminated, look to have an amber reflective glow like French headlight bulbs.

And yes, the girls look somewhat like cut-outs, but the shadows seem to match up to the car.

Is the RF wheel cover missing?
