"With a hint of the Italian design influences that the company was enamored of during that period, the Mach I made the auto show circuit during 1968. The car had an exotic chopped top, glass-covered headlights, a rear hatch, a full-width taillight in the rear, and a prominent grille protruding up front. And in a nod to the highly successful and widely recognized Ford GT40 race car, the scoops on the rear quarters were real--they fed cooling air to the brakes." And "The Mach 1 concept teases the design direction of the production 1967 Mustang 2+2 Fastback. The concept featured large rear-body scoops, racing style flip-open fuel doors, four exhaust ports and mag wheels. The front end was changed several times to create a more traditional Mustang look."
