When the Mustang was released in 1964, it became a worldwide hit and sold a million examples in the year-and-a-half following its introduction. As with all popular cars, customizers started presenting their vision of Ford’s famous pony car. One of the most notable custom creations was the Mustang station wagon (via Driving Line).

Ford noticed the trend and 1966 presented a prototype of a three-door, shooting brake-style station wagon loosely based on a 1969 design. Ford managers saw the potential in roomier versions of the Mustangs since the long roof didn’t affect the sporty appeal of the original design while offering more practicality and comfort. However, the Mustang Wagon never got to be introduced to the general public in the form of an official concept since Ford decided to stick with low production costs and standard body styles, which is a shame.
