Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". The Ford Forty-Nine was a two-door coupe concept created by Ford Motor Company; styled by Chip Foose (himself commissioned by J Mays)[1] and introduced at the 2001 North American International Auto Show — as a tribute to the 1949 Ford.[2]
The two coupe featured full-length glass roof[1] and used the Ford DEW98 rear-wheel-drive platform with a 3.9L dual overhead-camshaft 32-valve V-8 backed and five-speed automatic transmission.[3] The interior featured a full-length console and four individual, contoured bucket seats in constrasting orange and black leather.[1]
Ford also presented a non-drivable convertible variant of the Forty-Nine, finished in red with a red textile top, as a static display.[4] Ford retained the convertible until it sold the display to a private collector in 2010.[3]
Engine and Design
The Ford 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 was sent to the rear wheels through a 5-speed automatic transmission.[5]
