This original, unrestored scale model car is a dealer promo for the 1949 Ford. Like other early-'49 Ford promos, it features suicide-type rear doors, a design style that was rejected in favor of the rear-opening rear doors of production 1949 Ford 4-door sedans. The plastic-and-metal sedan, which measures about 7 5/8 inches long by 2 ¾ inches wide, is complete and in good to very good condition. The paint – similar to Ford-emblem blue – is shiny with almost no scratches. The bright work -- front, back and wheel covers -- is near excellent. Out front, there is a crack that begins barely visible on the lower left front fender just above the bumper, goes straight up then behind the headlight and extends across the leading edge of the hood to just past the midpoint of the hood. The plastic remains intact and the crack is rather inconspicuous. The windows are all intact, with only a small gap between the upper windshield and the body top. The undercarriage bears some very minor -- and inactive -- surface rust, but the metal is smooth and unpitted throughout with zero rust-out. The wheels roll freely on straight axles. The writing on the bottom of the car (“49 Ford Bill E. Enneis”) is intriguing, as it suggests the promo originally might have belonged to a relative of the now defunct Ford dealer: In nearby Alachua, Florida, the Ford agency for decades was Enneis Motor Co., believed to have been founded by William H. Enneis in the early 20th century. Free shipping only to U.S. Lower 48.
