'13 Heat extractors remind me of...
Intentional styling cue?
Hmm... on closer inspection, I see now that the car only has five vent holes per bank; it sort of looks like six.

Interesting observation... I'm a fan either way. I always love to see the connection between the P-51 and our rides!

That's debatable to some. I'm a believer. I've always thought the canopy of the first fastbacks mimicked the shape of the fighter's canopy. Part of the reason I tied the Mustang logo into the US military aircraft's roundel for my MilitaryStangs logo, seen in my avatar. (Approved by Ford, btw.

I'm just glad to see that they're coming that way from Ford instead of having to cut them out by hand like I did. http://www.buckeyestangs.com/vb/show...***&highlight=

The Boss name came from this..... The Boss 302 Mustang was designed by Larry Shinoda, a former GM employee. He placed the unique reflective "c-stripe" strips on the car, and eliminated the fake rear fender scoops found on the 1969 Mustang model. The distinctive styling included optional black horizontal rear window shades, blackout hood, and was one of the first production cars with a front spoiler and rear deck wing. The name "Boss" came about when Shinoda was asked what project he was working on, he answered "the boss's car" because the project was a secret.[3] Also Shinoda had called it the "Boss" as an homage to the new President of Ford Semon "Bunkie" Knudson who had brought Shinoda over from GM when Knudson had left. When Parnelli Jones won the 1970 Trans-Am title, the name "Boss" was kept.

I was referring to the Mustang name. Of course, I never knew about the Boss name either. You learn something new everyday!
And I think the heat extractors look awesome. Regardless of what inspired them.
