"The 1965 LTD Executive was a custom-built show car authorized by Ford, built by Gene Winfield, and shown at multiple venues across the country as part of the Caravan of Stars, an auto show produced by model car manufacturer AMT, customizer George Barris, and Ford Motor Company beginning in 1963. Ford executives believed this program would bring even more attention to the company’s cars. Others soon joined the effort – Bill Cushenberry, Gene Winfield, as well as Vince Gardener of Dearborn Steel Tubing.
The LTD Executive received a 1966-style grille, modified headlight bezels, recessed taillights, a stainless steel panel from the windshield header to the midpoint of the roof, and a padded vinyl covering from that point rearward. All emblems and name plaques were removed and a special medallion placed behind the front wheels. Upholstery was fabric and leather. The car was photographed with stock wheel covers for early publicity photos, but the wheels and wheel covers were later replaced with Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels. At some other point it was fitted with Rader aluminum wheels."
