Details

What is it about being a "car guy" that makes you appreciate automotive styling details that other people don't even notice. I guess it is just part of what makes us "car people" in the first place. Like how we can instantly tell the difference between a "67" and "68" Mustang, or how we can recognize a "63" split window Corvette from a block away.
When we walk through a car show and soak in all the fine details of the vehicles we are looking at, while other non-car people just see red ones, blue ones, and green ones.
Over the last 50 years, I have developed a great appreciation for the details that make our hobby so great. The shape of a "34" Ford radiator shell, the gas cap location of a "56" Chevy, or the taillight shape on a "68" Dodge Charger, are but a few of thousands of examples I could name.
Most of us are more of an expert on our favorite brand of vehicle, from a narrow range of model years. But I have met some who are like a walking data file on a wide range of cars, both old and new. But even the newest car enthusiast among us, has noticed details that have peaked their interest, and made them one of us.
Some beautiful styling details of the 2013 Mustang GT.
