The Ford Forty-Nine was a concept car created by the Ford Motor Company. It was first introduced at the 2001 North American International Auto Show. It was the tribute to the 1949 Ford model that was first produced after World War II that later became a big hit.

[edit] Engine and Design

The Forty-Nine's engine is a the same used in Ford's Thunderbird models, a naturally aspirated 3.9-liter, DOHC, 32-valve V8. The retro styling of the Forty-Nine is very similar to the 2002 Ford Thunderbird. It is the modern interpretation of the popular 1949 Ford with the exterior being very similar to its ancestor and its interior being based off the most popular cars of the '40s and '50s.
