Believe it or not, it’s time to start thinking about holiday shopping. One sure sign the gift-giving season is upon us is the announcement of Neiman Marcus’ The Christmas Book, which is famous for including several extravagant gifts that usually sell out immediately as the wealthy knock out their shopping before Halloween. This year the collection of fantasy gifts includes a limited-edition 2015 Mustang convertible.
“We’re excited to introduce the 2015 collection of fantasy gifts which continue the time-honored tradition of offering our customers the unique and high-quality items they’ve come to know and expect from Neiman Marcus.†Jim Gold President & Chief Merchandising Officer of Neiman Marcus, said. “Each year we strive to exceed the expectations of our customers; hopefully they will agree that this year is no exception.â€

“We are honored to have Neiman Marcus feature the Mustang as a fantasy gift in the Christmas Book this year, we think Mustang is the perfect giftâ€,  Mark Schaller Mustang marketing manager, said.
With styling that celebrates the GT40 heritage, the 2015 Neiman Marcus Limited-Edition Mustang Convertible is designed to commemorate the Mustang’s 50th Anniversary. These droptops really stand out thanks to Classic Design Concepts bodywork and exclusive blue/black/silver paint, but they also feature plenty of performance upgrades, including a supercharger, a racing suspension, carbon-fiber trim, a Magnaflow side exhaust, lightweight racing seats, 20-inch wheels, and Nitto NT05 tires.

“A singular car sure to appeal to enthusiasts and serious collectors alike, the 2015 Neiman Marcus Limited-Edition Mustang convertible commemorates Mustang’s 50th Anniversary with 700-plus supercharged horsepower,†says the company. “This powerful pony hits 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The driving experience is further enhanced with unique chassis and suspension tuning, a race-inspired dual exhaust system, lightweight forged 20-inch wheels, and an exclusive, livery-covered, aero-enhanced body.â€
Found on page 42 of the catalog, the 2015 Neiman Marcus Limited-Edition Mustang will sell for $95,000. A Ford Performance two-day driving school is included in the price.
“As a proud owner of one of the most exclusive muscle cars in production, you can now fulfill your dream of driving a racecar. Learn driving-control techniques that will prepare you to join the racing circuit and give you more confidence behind the wheel of your new Neiman Marcus Limited-Edition Mustang,” says the company. “You’ll receive both in-class and on-track instruction with a mid-day break for a premium-catered lunch. You’ll end the first day with a solo drive on a world-class track. On day two, you’ll continue to build on your performance racing skills by enjoying the challenge of a new track configuration. Regardless of your skill level or experience, each class will identify your strengths and advance your ability to dominate the road.”
If you want one of these truly limited S550s, you’ll need to have your assistant call 1-888-756-0775 at noon eastern on October 13, 2015 to reserve yours. With the purchase of each Mustang, Neiman Marcus will donate $1,000 to The Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation, which partners with local non-profit organizations to impact the lives of young people via art experiences.
