1949 Ford Advertising Proof, "The '49 Ford's Out Front"
Add to SetSummary
This ad proof sheet compares the new features of an affordable 1949 Ford to other cars. The ad also depicts the Ford's new postwar look. The car's "envelope body"-- smooth sides with no separate fenders -- was sleek and modern. Ford was the first of Detroit's Big Three to be, as the ad says, "out front."
