1965 Ford Mustang Fastback
Cooler than 'cool' and hotter than 'hot' was the sporty Ford Mustang Fastback when first introduced in 1965. The fastback features a sloping, streaming rear roofline reminiscent of early E type Jaguar and Porsche 356. This style is also called the 2+2. This designation refers to the rear interior panel which can be folded down flat for additional storage, or up for two more seats. The legroom in the rear is cramped, not really suitable for two adults on a long trip. When the seat is folded flat, you can open a hinged trap door that gives you a continuous void space from the trunk to the rear passenger compartment. The rear roof pillar incorporates the "silent flow" vent, a triangular cut out that blends with the roofline . The exterior of the vent sports six pillars that look as ominous as a sharks gills! Inside the car is a control knob that opens and closes the vent. The Mustang Fastback is definitely a classy classic in my book!
