The Mustang began production in March '64 and was introduced to the public at the New York World's Fair the following month. However, these early models are sometimes referred to as 1964 1/2. Therefore, a Mustang would not have been made available in November 1963. The filmmaker and/or producers must've thought the first Mustangs were 1964 models introduced in late '63. The only existing Mustangs at the time were concept models, including the first one made in 1962. -- Last edit: 2010-06-21 20:38:52

Oliver Stone is a rather sloppy filmaker who has no problem with artistic license even for an historical film. So for him, a transportation coordinator, set decorator who chose a Mustang, it was probably the iconic Sixties appeal of the car that outgunned the fact that the car was not publicly available for a few mre months. Or maybe the CIA / Mafia / Cubans conspired to put it at the scene as a patsy?
