1984 Ford Vignale Mustang (Ghia)

Built on a Ford Mustang SVO platform and powered by a 2.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, the three-door four-seat Mustang concept built in cooperation with Vignale featured flush glass, a contoured windshield with a single wiper, low-profile aerodynamic headlights, and fixed windows with a small portion capable of being controlled electrically. The traditional vertical Mustang taillights were placed horizontally on the Vignale concept, with reverse indicators built into the center lights on the trunk.
