The 1949 Ford was a line of cars that Ford produced for the 1949 to 1951 model years. It succeeded the prewar 1941 Ford, was the first full-size Ford designed after the Second World War, and was the first Ford line released after the deaths of Edsel Ford and Henry Ford. Released in June 1948, it was the first postwar car line from an American Big Three maker, beating Chevrolet to market by six months. Its slab-sided ponton design earned the nickname Shoebox Ford, and an integrated steel structure was advertised as a lifeguard body. A 226 cubic inch L-head inline-six was standard and a 239 cubic inch flathead V8 optional. Standard and Custom trims came as Tudor and Fordor sedans, coupes, a convertible and a station wagon.
