Ever wonder exactly how the cabin of a 1965 Ford Mustang convertible stacks up against the inside of its 2015 equivalent? Ever consider how many patents go into creating a new automobile, versus 50 years ago? Thanks to sponsorship from the Ford Motor Company, a new permanent exhibit at the National Inventor's Hall of Fame in Alexandria, Virginia, answers these questions and more by parking a cutaway '65 Mustang convertible next to a cutaway '15 model.

To allay the fears of collectors, no 1965 Mustangs were harmed in the making of the Intellectual Property Power exhibit, which relied on Ford-licensed reproduction body panels, chassis parts and interior components to create the display (further allowing the museum to explain the merits of licensing and intellectual property patents). Both the 1965 car (in left-hand drive) and the 2015 car (in right-hand drive, as currently built for a variety of export markets) are cut lengthwise to approximately 60-percent of their width, allowing children and adults to experience more of the driver's perspective.

What other cars would you want to see with a cut-away comparison?
