Printable Ford Mustang Coloring Pages for Kids

Ford showed the first Mustang in April 1964, and cars built in the months after that are often called 1964 and a half models. This 1965 convertible has its top folded down behind the seats, a long hood, a short rear deck and the small scoop on the rear side panel. It sits in front of a roadside diner with a scalloped striped awning, a front door and a round sign on a pole. Trees stand behind the roof. Try cherry red or white for the car, mint green for the awning and a soft blue for the sign. The stripes on the awning make a nice alternating pattern.

Seen from behind, the modern Mustang GT looks wide and planted. The roofline slopes down to a short trunk lid, and a small spoiler lip sits on the edge. Each taillight is split into three upright bars, one of the easiest Mustang details to spot, and two round exhaust tips poke out under the bumper. Kids can color the bars in red, add silver to the tips and give the car any body color they like, from bright orange to deep blue. A fuel cap circle sits on the rear side panel. The road is just a few simple lines, so the car stays the star.

At a drag strip, two cars line up side by side and wait for a tall post of lights to count them down. This Mustang GT has rolled up to the line with its shark-nose grille and slim headlights facing the track. The light tree stands beside the lane with stacked round lights that kids can color red, yellow and green. A low wall runs behind the car, and long lane lines lead toward the bottom of the page. The race is only a quarter mile, so it ends fast. Try a bright blue car, a gray wall and a bold stripe of orange along the lane edge.

This fastback has the look of the performance Mustangs from the late 1960s: twin racing stripes over the hood and roof, a pair of scoops on the hood and a roofline that slopes smoothly to the tail. The road curves past a guardrail with pine trees and tall peaks behind it. Racing stripes are fun to color because they run the whole length of the car, so a contrast color like white on a blue body or gold on black works well. Add gray to the road, green to the pines and leave the mountain tops white for snow.

Somebody just won best in show. A modern Mustang GT sits in the middle of the page with a big two-handled trophy cup in front of it, a bunch of five balloons floating over the roof and a line of pennant flags strung across the top. The car has the long hood, shark-nose grille and fastback roofline that make a Mustang easy to recognize. Use gold and yellow for the trophy, bright party colors for the balloons and any shade you like for the flags. It also works as a fun page to hand out at a birthday party for a car-loving kid.

The Mustang is drawn from the side with thick, bold outlines and just a few large shapes: a long hood, a sloping fastback roof, one big window, a small scoop behind the door and two round wheels. There is only a ground line and no scenery, so nothing distracts from the car. Offer a chunky crayon in red or yellow for the body, light blue for the window and black for the tires. Older siblings can add a road, a sun and some clouds with a pencil.
