Influenced by the classic 1949-1951 Ford, the Forty-Nine coupe concept
also had the chopped and channeled look on customized cars from that era. Displayed
at the 2001 Chicago Auto Show the Forty-Nine featured rounded high intensity
discharge and projector beam front lighting, sleek narrow wrap-around LED tail
lights, and a roof with an all-glass upper structure. Inside, a raised console
ran down the middle between the four bucket seats, and in front of the driver
was a classic single-dial gauge cluster. A “Powered by Thunderbird” badge on
the side announced that a Thunderbird 3.9-liter DOHC V8 in the engine bay was
tuned to fit the car’s appearance and refined muscle.
