A cantilevered, bench-style front seat is power-actuated. A floating center console runs the entire length of the interior, giving the impression of four-passenger bucket seating, while also serving to stiffen the vehicle&#8217;s structure.<\/p>\n<p>The cars primary gauges are contained within a single round instrument binnacle similar to the production &#8217;49 and hot rods of the era. The analog tachometer takes center stage and is surrounded by the electronic speedometer. A two-tone, leather-wrapped steering wheel features cruise and radio controls on a metal ring, reminiscent of the horn-ring popular in the 1950s.<\/p>\n<p>The Forty-Nine concept is powered by a Thunderbird 3.9-liter, DOHC, 32-valve V-8, tuned to fit the car&#8217;s appearance.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a

legendary 1949 Ford. The Forty Nine concept, introduced at the 2001 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, harkened back to that time, described by the company as a \u201csentimental drag race down memory lane.\u201d Its hyper-smooth appearance was achieved by an all-glass upper body structure with concealed pillars and windshield wipers. The exterior finish was accented by bright chrome wrapping around the greenhouse and modest chrome accents elsewhere, such as badging and 20-inch chrome wheels. The frontal aspect was heightened by round high-intensity-discharge and projector-beam lighting. In the rear, sleek, narrow wrap-around LED tail lamps made a distinct statement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<div id=\"example\">\n<p>The interior was a modern interpretation of the original car\u2019s simple design cues. A cantilevered, bench-style front seat was power-actuated. A floating center console ran the entire length of the interior, giving the impression of four-passenger bucket seating, while also serving to stiffen the vehicle\u2019s structure. The floating console housed the five-speed shift lever and ventilation system for both front- and rear-seat passengers.<\/p>\n<p>The drivetrain was projected to come from the revived two-seat Thunderbird, a 252-bhp 3.9-liter DOHC V8 with five-speed automatic transmission. Finished in satin black, stainless and chrome metal finishes, the engine compartment pays homage to hot-rodders\u2019 obsession with performance and appearance.\u00a0<b>Auction Source: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/2496\/1.html\">RM Auctions&#8217; 2010 Sports &amp; Classics of Monterey<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2002 Ford 49 Convertible Concept The &#8217;49 Ford was the key to a company turnaround engineered by Henry Ford II.
