I think it looka pretty good. Only thing I don't like is the angle of the top. It looks to much like the Comaro concept. It needs to be rounded off a bit and it will be perfect. Other than that, I thinks its a 10!!!

Looks like a vert with the top painted to match the car.

i did read about a rumor but then again its only a rumor. it said that 2009 would have a retractable hardtop. me personally, i dont see ford going that route but then again you never know. Like i said its only a rumor.

It's an after-market hard top for the vert. IMO- It looks OK .

-though toss the spoiler, for sure. IMO, would look better in darker colors like midnight blue, black, burgundy, or a dark green.

+1 - interesting the use of the 65 - 68 rear roofline and quarter windows....very different as compared with the current gen using the 69 - 70 roofline.....would also like to see the rear bumper "curve" reversed like the 67's were....

Yes I agree with you and it's more than obvious that somebody did a photoshop by taking the roofline of a 65-68 notchback and placed it upon the S-197 body..However on the other hand ? I must respectfully disagree about your quote concerning the current gen using the 69-70 roofline ? this is incorrect for 2 reasons..1 the 69-70 roofline sloped all the way back into the trunk area otherwise known as the sportsroof or as most refer to it as ? full fastback..2 the rear or side quarter windows were not located in the B-pillar area's nor were they triangle shaped ? Therefore, the current gen is much similar in comparison with the 65-66 roofline aka Mustang 2+2 fastback..Notice the triangle shaped rear quarter window and how the roofline doesn't slope into the trunk area it's both straight and flat..
