There's something strange about that second car, the turquoise so-called XL. While it has the die-cast grill, the XL emblem is missing from the top-left corner of it. Also, the side moldings and rear trunk emblem are the Galaxie 500 type, not the XL type. And...XLs came standard with full wheel covers, not dog dishes. It gets plus points for being a Luxury Trim car,which was uncommon. And what happened to the Mustang? Please tell me it was a work-in-progress and not parked out in a bad part of town overnight!
@roger628, your observations about the Frost Turquoise 1967 Ford XL 2-door hardtop are 100% on point - you identified all of the deviations that were made from stock when this car was restored. Very impressive and well done! As for the Candyapple Red 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 SportsRoof, it was undergoing a full restoration!

@grege6287, thank you - years ago I used to work with someone from Ford's Norfolk Assembly Plant and they taught me the correct pronunciation!

The '67 Ford XL has the optional deluxe XL interior, which contains door trim panels similar to those used in the Ford LTD. It should have a rear seat pull down center armrest, which is not visible in the video.
@michaelwitas9482, excellent - you are 100% correct! The Luxury Interior Trim option on the 1967 Ford XL did indeed include LTD-style "hockey stick" door panels and rear seat with a centre fold-down armrest. This is an obscure fact not known by many people. If you haven't done so already, please Subscribe to my channel so that you can be alerted when each new video comes out.
