2. 1964 Ford Mustang Sedan
For most of the concepts featured on this list, it’s a big shame they were absent from the big picture of the Mustang’s history, but not this one. Most car enthusiasts are glad they didn’t build this model. When Ford developed the Mustang in the early ’60s, they didn’t just make a new model, but also a new class on the market: pony cars. Since there were no pony cars before the Mustang, Ford development team went in several directions.
And one of them was the Mustang in a four-door body style. The car looked good and retained all the classic Mustang lines and proportions. However, Ford realized it would cannibalize the sales of the Falcon since they based the Mustang on the same platform and with the same engines. The reason people are glad they didn’t build this Mustang is that the four-door model would have ruined the sporty appeal of the car. Also, it would have affected the success of the original model. A Mustang in a two-door coupe or convertible form was an exciting and youthful performance car. But a Mustang in four-door version would have become just another compact family sedan with no iconic appeal.
