The introduction of its 1949 lineup - the first all-new postwar car from The Big Three - was a much-needed smash, with a sedan, coupe, and wagon offered.
With an aging lineup and shrinking sales, Ford was in dire straits after World War II. But like most legends, the true story is a lot more complicated. To the casual observer, the Thunderbird is an icon: a sports car with a 50-year history that’s the rolling embodiment of nostalgia. That’s certainly the case with the Ford Thunderbird, The Blue Oval’s personal car that re-energized the company, came to embody an entire decade, and launched a segment that would go on to dominate the American landscape within a few decades. If the idea appeared too early or too late, it may not have happened at all. Legendary cars usually come from a time and place that can’t be replicated.
