1949 Ford “The Car of the Year” Two-Page Framed Magazine Ad Set – 12.5" × 15.5" Each

Description

Bring bold mid-century automotive style to an office, garage, den, showroom, or vintage-inspired room with this colourful two-piece Ford advertising display.

The two framed pages join together to create one impressive advertisement promoting the redesigned 1949 Ford as “The Car of the Year.” The left side features the memorable red headline along with illustrations highlighting safety, comfort, styling, colour choices, and interior features. The right side showcases a large green Ford Custom, engine options, suspension, luggage capacity, and fuel economy.

The artwork matches a documented 1948 two-page magazine advertisement created to introduce the new 1949 Ford. Ford promoted the redesigned model heavily using the “Car of the Year” slogan.

Both pages are presented behind glass in matching black frames and form a display measuring approximately 25 inches wide when placed together.
