Designed after classic Mustangs of the 1960s, the fastback roofline and trapezoidal rear windows of the 2005 Ford Mustang echo 1965-66 Shelby Mustangs, and up front, the shark-like headlamps and grille suggest 1967-68 ponies. The hood is long and sleek and also comes from Mustang history, as do C-scoops in the sides, three-slotted backlights and the horse on the grille. Among the modern and aggressive touches are the short wheel overhangs – the Mustang wheels are pushed out to the corners – an improvement to the ride and to the look. It is an inspired design that echoes glory days of the past in a contemporary design that will not feel out of place on the road. It's not a classic car - it's the remaking of a classic. With an imaginative color palette, the 2005 Ford Mustang is a head turner and a conversation starter.
