AnswerThe '49 made its public debut at dealers on June 18th, 1948, so full-scale production would have started some time in May. Not sure when the '50 and '51 started up, but model-year production was as follows:
1949 1,118,308
1950 1,208,912
1951 1,013,381
Search the Internet and you'll find several clubs with websites devoted to the '49-'51 Fords. They'll be able to provide most of the info you're looking for.
