me too...I totally love it and can't wait until I have mine. I would have never noticed the correct proportions until seeing old vs new. I think the Ford Engineers did an awesome job with the 05 design.

Man those look sweet...I'm starting to envy the future '05 owners.

Looks fine to me...

Good illustration of why the 05 is called "boxy". Not long and low like the 65. Both are beautiful cars, but I think the '05 would look good with about a 2" sectioning job. (The hot rodder in me, I guess.)

That '65 is lowered. They did not look like that original - stock.

The 05 is actually longer in length. '65-'66 - 181.6" long x 68.2" wide. 05 - 187.6" long x 72" wide.
