The 1949 Ford is the vehicle that saved Ford from bankruptcy in the immediate post-war period. It was Ford’s first post-war vehicle that featured a completely new design, one that inspired the American auto industry for the next 35 years.
Created by famed automotive designer George Walker, the new “envelope” design with sleek styling made this car immensely popular in the post-war era, so much so that the automaker ended up selling a total of 1,118,762 1949 Fords. It’s easily one of the best Fords ever made!
