Ovals were 4 years of production, '54-57, between the 'Zwitter'—the oval-dashed split—and the 'big' backlight, which continued to grow over the years. I drove a '57 for nine years and sold it because it didn't have the sunroof. A year later I found a '56 with the sunroof, for sale in a farmer's field. It's the best place to find cars. My current one, the gold 1302 (2 years of production) was also found in a farmer's field.
I was an oval-window snob for a lot of years (chrome door handles and ivory knobs
) Now I like the Macpherson struts w/ stress bar in the front.

My Mustang is maybe not an incredible driver, but the attention, the torque, the feeling of letting the top down and hearing the rap of the glass packs is totally worth 16mpg.

I like a sound like the humming of a well-oiled sewing machine at speed. My Type III notchback never failed to go where I pointed it (except for that one time on ice) after Zig's street rod shop did a 4-wheel alignment.
