Re:Gold Nugget Special
Back then, and sometimes today, the way that limited editions were done was through "Ford Dealer Associations". These groups are local, or within a given area, like the Bay Area, or Denver Area, etc...
They don't always have the money to do a lot, or make too many things other than vinyl tops, paint and emblems. The ONLY motivation to do these cars is because of marketing--and getting the "iron out the door". When sales are down, you see these types of marketing things happen.

p.s. Doug--send a want list for small stuff to mail you there in Korea...like car magazines, etc... I have a few gems for you.
