Ford has announced that it will give its Mustang customers the option of a glass roof on the 2009 models. Available on V6 and GT models starting next summer, the $1,995 glass roof option gives Mustang buyers a convertible feel with hardtop all-weather driveability. The glass is specially tinted to reduce infrared rays and heat, and can also be closed via a manual roller.
With Mustang sales off by nearly 19% this year, it appears as Ford is using the glass roof to lure new buyers. Over the past few years, Ford has released several different variation of the Mustang — including the Bullitt – to keep interest in the nameplate going.
Ford announced that it would cut back Mustang V8 production earlier this month.
A revised Mustang is expected to roll into Ford dealerships in 2009 as a 2010 model.
