Really interesting ! They all are fascinating designs and I like each of them in their own way. It is also great to know a terrific Thunderbird design did go into production for the re-style.
Always interesting to see pre-production ideas and the evolution of a design.
Personally I thought the design below is the nicest of any of them. Maybe not Thunderbird material, but just as a piece of smooth, well-balanced styling with no embarrassing gimmicks, I find it quite elegant.
A fully formed production-looking 1964-1/2 Mustang mock-up (w/chassis-dolly attachment ) can be seen in one of those 11-9-1962 Thunderbird photos. I realize that particular Mustang is long gone now but I wonder just how many MILLIONS it would fetch today at auction? 😮 😮Â

I agree Graeme. Do you have access to front perspectives of this one by any chance?
