They never did. Lot of them were custom built over the years.
The one you pictured actually had a Lotus engine transplanted....
They did mock up some early prototypes, but were mock up's only...

Is that the mustang mach-e predecessor?

It was actually a concept that Ford wasn't interested in. Good thing!

The October 1966 issue of Car and Driver revealed the Mustang Station Wagon to the world. However, the car went through several different designs in order to present the American automaker with options.
The body lines on the Ford Mustang made for a seamless transition to the Mustang Station Wagon. As reported by MotorBiscuit, Hagerty said that “Cumberford purchased a brand-new 1965 Ford Mustang and commissioned the build. The idea was to take the station wagon concept and sell it as an add-on kit for existing cars.”
Cumberford collaborated with Barney Clark, an executive with J. Walter Thompson (Ford’s advertising agency), and with Italian coachbuilder Construzione Automobili Intermeccanica. He shipped a 1965 289-powered hardtop to Italy. According to MotorTrend, “the car got a wagon roof, a bottom-hinged tailgate, a retractable rear window, a relocated fuel filler, and folding rear seats.” Including shipping, the whole project cost less than $10,000.
Unfortunately, when the project was completed 11 months later, Ford wasn’t interested in the oddball car. The Mustang Station Wagon never made it past the concept stage. However, there was demand in the market for this long roof muscle car.
Apparently, Cumberford sold the conversion kit to Hobo, a California-based company. At the time, the kit was less than $600. Eventually, the concept for the station wagon was sold, and that’s the last anyone has heard of it.

I think this is their next Gen Mach e. Fits right in with the whole "Green energy" thing they're forcing on us. ?

Hi Rick,

I believe this is a one off from a private company. I saw a mock up over at The HF Museum but it was not running model.... Mock up did not test well according to Museum staff. I see Steve posted the mock up....while I was typing this....

best,
Phil

But at least those people would be happy to help you raise a barn to keep it in.

We had a 73 Pinto Wagon. It was pretty much that.
