Since the Mustang was the original "Pony Car", I have to accept it as a logical move by Ford.

And, the Mustang marque is not too shabby either - so, for me, it's ok.

Surely "Saddle" is just the name of the color of that leather.

It is a designation often used by car makers for leather that has the brown or tan shade. It often appears here in the UK as a generic name for that color when used in cars with leather.

I don't think it implies that any sort of Castano or Chapparel leather is being used.

I'm with Lent. I'm sure its just the color. But good eye RP.
It would be weird to have KR seats in anything but a Truck... I did see a '69 Bronco with them though. SWEET!

I'm hoping it's just the 'color name' and not indicative of the actual material. My personal feel is that it would devalue, in a weird sort of way, the King Ranch boutique and not really be conducive to the KR brand promotion.

No... that's not a 'snobby' answer. It's just how I feel.

Then I will own up to the snobbery... NO Castano in the Kiddy Kars.

KR leather is for the big boys who can give it the love it needs...Well most of us anyways.
