Here are some shots from the San Diego Car Show. Not a lot, Ford didnt put in a good showing here, but they did have the Ford 49 Concept which is really cool.

are they gonna do a production run of the 49? I like it, and they did a fine job with the retro styling, but I wouldn't have gone quite as old school.... I'd have made it ever so slightly more of a modern look... I can see that having a hard time selling if they do produce it. I'm thinkin' that'd be sweet chopped and dropped, shave the handles and paint it creame with purple flames.... it doesn't say anything else to me. Know what I mean?

Thanks for the pics! I like the '49 styling too. I think the Fusion is loosely based upon the '49.

Ford should of built the 49 instead of the boring line up they now offer (Mustang excluded). Maybe then they would of been running with the 300C which as a 2005 model already has 143,500 units sold.

The 49 would not be that hard to make, may see it as a tbird replacement. Mercury should get that car, and base it on the s197 platform. It will also be interesting to see what the ls2 and hemi-killing Hurricane does to the Ford product line
