No its not. Last thread I wanted to know what features of The S197 resembled what 65-73 Mustangs?
This one is "Do you consider the S197 a "Fastback"
no. its not the same
So isn't the 65-66 fastback
Although the 65-66 fastback has a flat/level trunklid like the S197.. The trailing edge of the rear glass isn't parallel nor integrated with the trunk, it's above it.. Where as the trailing edge of the rear glass of the S197 is integrated with the trunklid.. So from that point of view, the 65-66 would be considered more of a fastback than the S197, which is more than likely one of the reasons Ford refers to the S197 as a coupe rather than a fastback.. By comparison, the 65-66 fastback would also seem to share more in common with the current S550 over the S197 as well..
