History of the 1949-1951 “Shoebox” Ford: When Ford introduced its new model for 1949 the car represented the Blue Oval’s first clean-sheet design since World War II. In fact it was the first postwar sheet metal shown by any of the Big Three. Everything about the 1949 Ford was new except for the wheelbase and the powertrain. For the new car Ford utilized a ladder-type frame and front independent suspension via coil springs and A-arms and a Hotchkiss rear end with live axle and leaf springs. Power came from two tried and true engines: the 226-c.i. L-head straight-six or the 239-c.i. Flathead V-8 which produced 100 hp. All cars carried three-speed manual transmissions with optional overdrive as Ford lacked an automatic of its own.Two trim levels were offered: Standard and Custom. Both were offered with the L-head or optionally with the V-8. Six-cylinder Standards included Tudor and Fordor sedans along with business and club coupes while Customs eliminated the business coupe but added a two-door convertible as well as a two-door wood-bodied wagon. From a styling standpoint the new Ford’s adopted slab sides wrap-around bumpers minimal trim and bullet-adorned grille set it apart from most other cars on the road. Despite a relatively hastened period of design and development along with teething issues associated with such an abbreviated process the new Fords were a hit with 1.1 million units sold. For 1950 Ford worked out many of the noise and handling issues found in the first-year cars. Trims were renamed Deluxe and Custom Deluxe.
