  1. In my high school senior year, 71-72, I had a metallic green, black interior 66 Mustang convertible with the 289 hipo, big assed tires, mags, shackles, cherry bombs, craig auto-reverse cassette player, and jensen triaxles. Traded it in 73 for a 70 Camaro SS. Kept that Camaro til 1980. That would be the last V8 I would ever own. Got married in 84 and have driven sleepers ever since. Those were the days my friend.

  2. Sorry, I never got the Brigitte Bardot thing. I mean, she is attractive, just not super hot like everyone makes out. And you’re putting a French girl in an American car? For shame. Given the car and the era, you want the quintessential all-American girl next door type, say Dawn Wells.

    Did you even see Gilligan’s Island in South Africa? Dude.

    1. I’d put Bardot in some sort of European car.
      As for the Shelby Mustang, what about Barbara Eden, or Deborah Walley?

      1. I wouldn’t kick Barbara out, but she really deserves a convertible Corvette.

  3. I don’t get Bardot, either. Legs are not great, waist is thick, face is lumpy, hygiene suspect. She’s a 6 on a good day, aside from her willingness to show the goods, which may have promoted her rank excessively in that bygone era. French standards seem odd. Witness also Jeanne Moreau, the frog-faced actress who is also touted as a great beauty. At least Moreau is a passable actress … Bardot not so much. Compare at Deneuve … as mediocre an actress as Bardot and a truly stunning beauty.

    1. You say “suspect hygiene” like that’s some kind of bad thing. Americans are SO antiseptic.

    2. ken,
      You’re right about Bardot. I don’t think that she’s that attractive either. 6-7 tops

  4. That lead photo may not be an actual ‘Shelby’ – where are the rear brake scoops?

  6. The difference here, is that the Mustangs (the three of them here at least) are still lovely examples of creation.
    Ms Bardot, on the other hand, has aged very poorly indeed.

    Maiontenance, I guess!
