surely not - because if that was an accurate picture, the driver would be sitting on the RHS of the car....

That would have been an accurate depiction until Ford destroyed all the competition with the 1968 1/2 Mustangs. :thumb:

It's a take off from "Bullitt" when the bad guys in the black charger look in the mirror and see the Mustang behind them. They are trading on the movie's popularity, imho. Possibly the movie was copying the manual picture, too.

Absolutely kosher. Just warning the Mopar driver they're about to be overtaken.

It's a modern retro poster. See below for details.

Nice retake on the Steve McQueen Bullit movie poster. http://racingstripes.tumblr.com/

Retro Bullitt book cover

Graphic design Wayne Dalhberg is the brain behind this awesome Bullitt poster design. Dalhberg's simple, yet highly effective concept incorporates the film's famous car chase scene, featuring Steve McQueen in his Mustang Fastback GT wrapped up in an oversize rearview mirror.
