“Shoebox” is a term given the 1949-1951 Ford cares because, well, they are shaped like shoeboxes. The Ford cars from this era were the first of their kind by breaking away from the removable fenders used up to that point. Ford made these sleek “slab-sided” cars called the Ford Custom.

Ford’s 1953 and 1957 F100s are the most influential automobiles of the 1950’s. Why do I say that? These F100s have set the template for the “light duty” pickup-truck as-a-car.
