I love my 1971 351C … apart from one thing …I’d like to see out of the thing…I was born with optical enhancements called “eyes”.
The stylist for Ford at the time, in his false wood paneled office at Dearborn, sometime in 1970, woke up one morning and said;
“I know, I have nothing else better to do this morning...what I’ll do today is redesign the Ford Mustang and give it a new look… I’ll make the nose 4 miles long, make it as wide as a bus and give it a 14° fastback rake and for good measure nail a spoiler to the back.” ::thumb::
Then, after a few sketches, he got the styling team to create his masterpiece in 1:1 in clay
“Hmmmm.. I like the way this looks …” The designer ponders a bit examining the clay model :chin:
“Ahhh :jawdrop: …the driver can easily see out the front, but needs some assistance regarding looking rearwards”
After thinking about it over a coffee comes up with a real epiphany... “ Eureka!” he exclaims
“I can nail a door mirror here…a door mirror there… and glue a rear view mirror right in the middle of the field of view for the front…YES that’s the job”.
Note from me, the driver.
Hey butt face ...I can see nothing through the two door mirrors – the field of incidence is too narrow – and even if Scarlett Johansson and Sofia Vergara were giving each other oral sex on my rear trunk lid – I wouldn't see a DAMNED THING! :huh:
Does anyone know how I can improve my rear visibility… just in case the latter were to happen?
