Ford Motor Company was the first of the automakers to introduce an all-new passenger car after WWII when it was revealed at the Waldorf Astoria on June 10, 1948. It had a modern, new slab-side design with front fenders, body sides and rear quarters forming a continuous line from head to taillight. The design was so good it not only won the Fashion Academy Award for 1949, it won again in 1950. “The ’49 Ford also used new terminology as the entry levels were referred to as ‘Fords,’ while the high-trim vehicles were called the ‘Custom Series.’ Four different models were available as Fords while the Custom had five models, including a convertible and two-door station wagon whose new design transformed from a four-door work vehicle to a two-door family transporter. More than one million ’49 Fords were sold during the initial 18-month model year.” —Ted Ryan, Ford Archives & Heritage Brand Manager Archival footage shown.
