The Crossfire concept was a real jolt - and I’m glad that the majority of the car’s styling was kept for the production model.
I'm with you, I love the idea of the split screens and I think it was neat how they made the Windshield wiper the "split" in the front screen, my son's 68 Mustang Fastback had the spine molded in the backglass. I too am glad that a lot of the styling made it thru to production, so many times that is not the case.
