NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Would Mustang Sally drive a station wagon? Maybe she'll get the chance.

As far as I can tell, Ford has but one thing left going for it. Now they want to ruin that, too?

Wasn't there once a wagon variation of the corvette?

I think it was called the Nomad.

They're grasping at straws - they've seen the successful sales of 'performance' wagons like audis and subarus and are trying to get a cut of the action.

The Chevy Nomad was just a wagon version of the basic two-door Chevy.

I always wanted one.

The '55 Nomad 2-door wagon, only 7886 were built. Not a bad looking wagon, either.

Guess Ford saw Daimler-Chrysler make a 4-door Dodge Charger and figured they could make something even more stupid.

The source of this pic describes it as a 54 Corvette Nomad.

Just remember this sort of nonsense when Ford goes begging for a taxpayer bailout.

Do we really want to bail out someone who is going to make the Mustang into a station wagon?

Eeeeewww. It'll look like a Dodge Magnum with an overbite and shoulder pads. Of course the Magnum is nothing but a station wagon on testosterone.

Sometimes Ford design really kicks butt. And sometimes, well, never mind.

"It's a case of reaching out to the men or women who keenly identify with the Mustang, but for various reasons - whether it be family, recreational or other - need a more versatile car than a coupe," the source is quoted as saying.

If they just added an El Camino version of the Mustang, they could drop all other lines.
