Like all cars, the Mustang had a lot of design concepts and prototypes along the way, Ford started working on concepts including the original iconic Mustang I which looked nothing like the final car. There are a few more design studies and models we are glad never saw production as many of these may have killed the Mustang as we know it.
 |
| Early Clay Model in 1962 |
 |
| Some of these design cues got picked up by Zagato on their version of the Mustang (See the Zagato Mustang) |
 |
| This 1963 drawing shows a much more European roofline, the story is it was based on an Alfa. |
 |
| A 1966 Mustang Wagon Concept that never saw the light of day. |
 |
| The pretty much did build this one as the 1971-1973 Mustang Sportsroof, but I never really liked that body style much. |
 |
| This 1968 model shows us lots of 69 Shelby and 71-73 Sportsoof, but just seems off. |
 |
| Another 1968 design study on what would become the 71-73 body style, this frontend is pretty awful. |
 |
| Hey Fox Body Mustang haters, it almost became this... this design basically became the Ford Fairmont |
 |
| They were still toying with the idea in 1976 |
 |
| This pre-runner to the 1994 Body Style looks like a Probe and Taurus mated. |
