After WWII, Ford Motor Company was struggling to stay alive. The whiz kids - as the team of engineers and stylists was known - answered with the 1949 Ford design. The impact of the radical new "propeller" styling, coupled with the time-proven 100 bhp flathead V-8, exceeded their expectations and launched Ford to a historic rebound. Franklin Mint offers this faithful re-creation, proudly displaying the "spinning propeller" style grille and fully detailed 239 V-8 engine.
