2009 Mustang Will Get Glass Roof
Today, Ford announced that a glass roof Mustang will be a part of the 2009 vehicle lineup. According to a statement released by the company, the new glass roof will be available as an option on both the V6 Mustang and Mustang GT beginning next summer. The roof will be priced at $1,995.
“Mustang is an icon in our product lineup, and we are committed to keeping Mustang news fresh every year,” said Derrick Kuzak, Ford’s group vice president, Global Product Development. “As the automotive landscape becomes increasingly competitive, features such as a panoramic glass roof will help differentiate our products from the competition.”
Mustang’s Glass Roof will be made of tinted privacy glass, designed to reduce both infrared rays and vehicle cool-down time by 50 percent, according to the company. A manual roller blind will be built in, allowing owners to further control exposure on sunny days. The company reports that the glass roof Mustang will be built like a coupe and has been developed to maintain the structural integrity of Mustang. The glass itself is safety glass, meaning that it shatters without sharp or jagged edges, like other automotive glass.
The question that comes to my mind is, "Will the 2009 Chevy Camaro have a glass roof?" Enough said. The glass-roof Mustang will debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit next month.
