Ford issued the stamp to honor the 1969 Mustang Boss 302, significant to pony car enthusiasts.

Stamp design features an oil painting capturing the essence of this iconic pony car model.

Pony Cars set includes five stamp designs, paying tribute to influential and iconic models.

Ford, under President Semon Knudsen, developed the Mustang Boss 302 to compete in racing.

Larry Shinoda, Corvette C2 designer, played a crucial role in the secret project.

The name “Boss” originated during the project’s development, emphasizing its significance.

The 302 featured engine upgrades, larger wheel wells, spoilers, and distinctive paint details.

After modifications, the Boss 302 claimed victory in 1970, rekindling pony car nostalgia.

Ford briefly revived the Boss name in 2012, allowing enthusiasts to relive the pony car’s golden age.
