Mustang II Pony MPG

Back in the 1990s, I was crazy about the 59 Caddy which corresponds with the 90s era of roundness and soft contours. Now I favor the straighter razor edged forms, so I have to agree the 1961 Caddy was a fine form. I also favor most 60s Caddys up to 1968.

Elwood Engel did good with what was originally a Thunderbird styling proposal. The boxy 61 Continental was
