NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Would Mustang Sally drive a station wagon? Maybe she'll get the chance.
The next generation of the Ford Mustang could include some previously unthinkable variants including a four-door sedan and a station wagon, according to a report in the magazine AutoWeek.
"To a Mustang purist, this is blasphemy," said Bob Gritzinger, AutoWeek's senior editor for news.

Not the 'Vette. Chevy Belaire.
I have the Durango the 01 model,it has a blind spot in the front, when you need to turn left the support bar on the front drivers side can block your view at times. You have to lean to the right to see around it.

So thats why you burban drivers keep cutting me off......j/k
Yep, that and we feel we own the road anyway... :-)
You have to get in front of me to own it,good luck!
Ahhh. The Vega wagon. Imagine the one in that picture, only a lovely tan color. Now imagine it after a Mack dump truck has hit it at a 30 degree angle just behind the driver's seat at about 30 mph. Nobody was hurt as my brother was the only one in the car, but that's what happened to my family's Vega wagon. Squished like a bug.
Remember back in the 70's, when the Mustang and the Pinto were the same car with different sheet metal?
I'd say there would be a likelihood of a variant to compete with the new Dodge Magnum.... I don't know if it should be badged as a mustang, but to share the basic underlying platform, and only change the sheetmetal and layout might not be a bad move.
Magnum seems to have done well for dodge, and cross over is in... why not a Ford sporty version of one?
That roof style was the height of car fashion. The only problem with pillarless: one less place to put chrome.
Yeah, that was the fate of the most recent T-Bird as well.
The one that's being discussed now holds a bit more promise:
The Cougar, with its cushier interior and more "refined" sheetmetal, riding on a slightly retuned Mustang chassis, should be an even bigger success this time around than it was in the '60s. Of course, Ford's solvency wasn't dangling by a thread in '67, either. If stupidity truly reigns in Dearborn, they'll kill the Cougar project and green-light the Mustang Wagon - probably with a "Sport Package", complete with Shelby-like LeMans stripes (gak!!).
Wasn't there also a 2-door Pontiac wagon in '55 or '56, as well? I think it had the chrome trim strips on the tailgate, just like the Nomad.
There probably was. I used to be able to identify model in the dark in those years simply from headlight reflections. Taillights were too easy, anybody could do that. Now I am fortunate to spot my own car in the parking lot in broad daylight.
That is one Cool Cougar!......Probably never see the streets, tho......too logical!......Hope they incorporate the "Sequential Turn Signals" of the original!......
Hehehe, you do have me beat in that department...
