1970 Mustang Milano Concept — Ford has produced many Mustang concepts over the years….one of the most awesome one is the pretty purple 1970 Mustang Milano.

With its impossibly slim windows and NACA-ducted hood, the Mustang Milano screams muscle car to the point of caricature, if not originality. It is cool as hell, and it clearly informed the design of the upcoming 1971 Mustang with its fastback profile and Kammback tail treatment.

The Mustang Milano features a low, racy design and unique tailgate that raises electrically. At just 43 inches high it is seven inches lower than a standard 1971 Mustang SportsRoof. The hood contains NASA-type air scoops -- adapted from a highly efficient aeronautic design -- for power-producing ram-air induction. The headlamps and high-powered driving lights are concealed when not in use and the windshield is steeply ranked to a 67-degree angle. The uniquely-designed rear deck lid, complete with built-in air spoiler is similar to tailgates on some European station wagons. Hinged at the top, the deck lid and backlite open electrically just above the taillights to provide easy accessibility to the luggage compartment. Laced cast aluminum wheels are fitted with wide F60 x 15 tires were designed and built by Firestone especially for this show car.

Milano's ultra violet paint is color-keyed to the car's interior. The high-back bucket seats have blue-violet fabric inserts and light purple leather trim. Deep purple mohair carpet adds to the luxury look.The carpeted rear area of this two seater carries color-keyed luggage fabricated from the same leather used in the seat trim.

Back in 1970, Ford brought the Milano Mustang to the Chicago Auto Show to showcase the design that was to be featured in the upcoming production ’71 Ford Mustang. This new Mustang design featured just two seats and an almost horizontal fastback and according to Ford, this was the most “radical” Mustang seen up to that time.
