The Ford Forty-Nine was a concept car created by the——Ford Motor Company. It was designed by Chip Foose and was first introduced at the 2001 North American International Auto Show. It is: a tribute——to the 1949 Ford. A convertible was also built, "finished in red." But it was a static display vehicle. And as such had no running gear.

Engine and Design

The Forty-Nine's engine was the same Jaguar AJ-V8 engine used in the "Ford Thunderbird," a naturally aspirated 3.9 liter, "DOHC," 32-valve V8. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 5-speed automatic transmission.
