Background
The 1949 Ford is a line of cars produced by Ford from the 1949 to 1951 model years. The successor to the prewar 1941 Ford, the model line was the first full-size Ford designed after World War II and was the first Ford car line released after the deaths of Edsel Ford and Henry Ford. Coinciding with the 1948 release of the Ford F-Series, the 1949 Ford was offered solely as a car.
