17 FORD MUSTANG Concepts That Never Saw The Light Of Day (1)
If you ever ask a person which American car manufacturer he likes the most, one of the most common answers you will get would be Ford. They are one of the most iconic and storied American carmakers. Throughout their lifetime, they have made numerous cars, but if we have to choose the most iconic, it has to be the Ford Mustang. This car is the epitome of the American muscle car, and has been going strong since it was first introduced in 1962. Several generations of this car exist, and today we will focus on 17 Ford Mustang concepts that never made it to production.

First on this list of Ford Mustang concepts we have the 1961 Ford Avventura. This model was supposed to be based of the Falcon compact. It went through 3 different names, one of them being the Avventura. What made this design interesting is that it was supposed to have a backseat what was going to be facing towards the rear.
2. Ford Avanti Concept

Coming in at the second place is the Ford Avanti, which is a continuation of the Avventura design with a couple of changes. The rear seat was made to face forward and the back hatch was switched with a trunk. What is your opinion about it?
3. 1961-1962 Two-Seater Studies

At number 3, it is the two seated Ford Mustangs that were scratched so that the four seated Mustangs can be produced. This idea first came up in the early 1960s, and has appeared several times more. If this concept became a reality, the Mustangs would have been quite smaller than the ones we know!

4. 1962 Ford Allegro Design Study
4th on this list of interesting Ford Mustangs concepts is the Ford Allegro design. It was first pitched way back in 1962, by a man named Gene Bordinat. This concept has been the basis for Mustangs after 1962. It had a long hood as well as a shorter deck layout.
5. 1963 Mid-Engine Ford Coupe Two-Seat Concept
The fifth spot is reserved for the 1963 two seat coupe concept. This Ford Mustang was supposed to be mid-engine, and it had a hard top as well. This particular design is the inspiration for the racing Ford GT40, which took part of the famous race Le Mans. Do you remember the last run?
