1949

Panhard Dyna X

Saab 92 (1949-1956)

The prototype was first shown to the press on 10 June 1947, but the first pilot production run of 20 cars did not leave the TrollhÔøΩttan factory gates until Summer 1949.

Rover P4 1949-1964

The P4 was based on a design for Studebaker by Raymond Loewy, famous for his streamline shapes. It was announced in the Autumn of 1949. Although the body was completely new, much of the chassis was P3. The P4 75 had the traditional Rover 3-lamp configuration at the front, which earned the car the nickname of Cyclops. The engine was basically the P3 2103 cc six-cylinder in-line unit, but now fitted with an aluminium cylinder head.
The P4 model appeared in the course of the years as the 60, 75, 80, 90, 95, 100, 105, 105R, 105S, and 110.

Oldsmobile 1949-1953

The 76 had a 4.21 litre 6-cylinder engine. There was also a model 98 which was fitted with a 5 litre V8, the 'Rocket' engine.

The 1953 models were very similar to the '52s. The V8 went from 152 hp to 157hp!

The Morris Oxford MO series was manufactured from 1948 to 1952. The Oxford was the Minor's big sister. It was fitted with a four cylinder 1.5 litre side-valve engine that produced 41 bhp at 4200 rpm.

Morris Six & Isis

Built from 1949 to 1954, this model was fitted with a 6-cylinder 2215 cc engine that produced 66 hp, giving the car a top speed of 125 km/h.

170 S (W136 and W191)

The 170 S was introduced at the Hannover show in 1949. It was based on pre-war designs. The bodywork was similar to that of the 230 (W153). The 170 S was built from May 1949 to February 1955. Its all-round independent suspension gave the car an edge on the competition.

Humber Hawk Mark III-VI 1949-1957

Triumph Mayflower 1949-1953

TRIUMPH MAYFLOWER, 1247cc, 1949-1953 Little sister to the 1800 and Renown razor-edge saloons, this quality-built and individual car doesn't yet seem to have achieved the "cult car" status predicted for it by some. The side-valve engine stems from the Standard 10.

This six light four door razor edge saloon was initially introduced in 1946 as the 1800 model, being powered by an overhead valve conversion of the pre-war Standard 1800cc engine. This unit was also used in the smallest engined Jaguar of the time, though a Solex carburettor was used in place of an SU.
