The first postwar Mercury was introduced in the 1949 model year.
The engine was a flathead V8 that produced slightly more power than
the then also newly designed 1949 Ford. A new overdrive system was
optional, activated by a handle under the dash. The styling of the
Mercury Eight, when it was released in 1949, adopted the "ponton"
appearance, and was successful in both ending the monotony of
warmed-over pre-war style, and differentiating Mercury from its
comparable Ford cousin, a trick that spelled sales success. Sales
figures for both Ford and Mercury broke records in 1949.
