Thank you everyone. Dad says he doesn't remember but he could have added the exhaust ports. I'll bet he did. He does remember adding the spotlight. The car was driven to California where he sold it, then bought a ticket on a DC3 and flew back to Pennsylvania. He recalls seeing a 49 in a movie...

I thought the same. The port holes look like Ventiports that came out in 49 for Buick. My dad said he just bought the car new at the dealer and did nothing to it. Of course this was 1949 and it was a long time ago. His memory could have faded.

:confused: My Dad says this was a 1949 Ford that he purchased new and drove across the country. The trouble is I don't see any other pictures of 49 Fords with the side fender exhaust ports. Is this really a 49? Was that optional trim?
