Artifact Overview

Ford's 1942 models featured all-new front ends and concealed running boards along their sides. Redesigned frames lowered the cars by one inch compared with the previous year. The 1942 models had a limited production run of about 160,000 units. Like other American automakers, Ford suspended civilian work in favor of military production soon after the U.S. entered World War II.
