Body:
The asc/McLaren is the ONLY convertible in the world that gets MORE
lOOOks with the top UP, than with the top down! Since you probably
have the top UP, much more than down, it's nice to turn so many
heads. When they see it coming at them, well....it's a Mustang, but
wait.....after it passes & they look, Wait, are you sure? I think it
was a Mercedes~Benz.....Na, really "what the heck was it...."
