Through 1973, they're called "fastbacks". From 1974-1993, they're called "hatchbacks". From 1994-2004, they didn't have a fastback/hatchback versions. From 2007-present, they're called "coupes", but i think "fastback" is more appropriate for Mustangs, because a Mustang coupe has always had a decidedly more severe interface angle with the trunk lid. I realize that "coupes" have two doors, and sedans have four, but in the Mustang model line, there has always been a distinction made between the coupes and the fastbacks.

Interestingly, the first Mustangs were coupes and convertibles, and the fastback was released later in the 1965 model year. I suppose they called them "fastbacks" because they already had a "coupe" version and because the long sloping roof line made the car look fast, and they needed a different name for the sub-model.

Fun fact: the first Mustang prototype was a 4cyl rear-engine spyder with stationary seats and an adjustable pedal assembly.
