Ford's 1949 model was the company's first all-new car after World War II. The car's "envelope" body, with integral fenders and smooth slab sides, was a fresh break from previous designs. The "spinner" in the center of the grille suggested an airplane propeller, and it was an early example of the aviation themes that characterized postwar American cars.
