About to buy a 49 fordor. Anything particular to look out for on this particular model beyond the normal areas of concern? Thanks.

Check the floors on both the driver's side an passenger side for rust through. The rockers are also prone to rust along with the trunk floor. You want to buy the most solid body you can find when it comes to shoebox cars.

You also want to take it for a spin. Check the steering. Let the wheel go and see if it stays straight. The newly designed front end was not the complete answer for the new car in 1949. That is why, the slogan '50 Ways Better' was issued in 1950.
