Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company beat General Motors and Chrysler to market with an all-new car following World War II. The 1949 Ford was distinguished by its smooth-sided "envelope" body and the airplane-inspired "spinner" in the center of its grille. Postwar demand for new cars was insatiable, and Ford produced more than a million units in the 1949 model year.
