  1. I think that's a '70, the '69 didn't have the fake scoop on the side. I hope this oversize wheel fad dies soon, it just looks wrong.

    1. Pretty sure those are '44s, though the 'Stang might be post war H model.
      I can't see the oversized wheels you mentioned, but I agree Bro-Wheel is not a good look.

    2. I commented on a different post of a '70 Road Runner resto-mod that was identified as a '69. That post disappeared and was replaced with this pic.

  3. Wrong, they produce the twin tailed devil...P38.

  4. "We flew a hot formation
    With my wingtip in his lap!
    But they've pass a new directive,
    And we'll have no more of that!
    The Force is shot to Hell!"

  5. I'll bet "dollars to doughnuts" that a telephoto lens was used as a common trick to make it appear that both planes were much closer than they actually were.

    1. ^ depth-of-field chicanery FTW!

      Did it myself at a Blue Angels appearance once upon a time. You could tell quite a fib with a 300mm, making 6' look like 6".
