Ford used an alpha/numeric coding system to identify the year, make and model of its vehicles. The code further tells you the body style, and in some cases, the engine in the vehicle.

The links below will take you to front view line drawings of Ford, Mercury and Lincoln vehicles for each model year. The links are to Vanpelt Sales, a supplier of early Ford parts.
