1949
A brand-new spy aircraft, the X-1, begins to fly over Russia.
The first Volkswagen Beetle is sold in the United States.
Cadillac's one-millionth car is produced November 25, 1949.
GM opens "Transportation Unlimited", its first show since 1940, in New York.
With the dawning of 1949 there cames a new and different body style from Buick. They call it the "hardtop". Holes in the hood side are also new and that goes on to become a Buick hallmark. With wider grilles, parking lights are now placed atop the Buick's fenders with spearlike chrome strips trailing them. Gone are the balloon fenders and running boards, an heritage of the Buicks of the 40ies. Belt lines, now the very top edge of the Buick's front fenders, run straight back from them, just a few inches below the side windows, fading into the bulging curved rear fenders. Within these fenders are frenched taillights like these of a 1956 model Vette.
This year Cadillac introduces the Coupe de Ville, which is also Cadillac's first "hardtop" stiled automobile.
Chrysler automobiles starts with the key.
