1949 Jaguar Mk V DHC in Syracuse, New York

The Jaguar Mark V was a saloon car built by the Jaguar Company.The origin of the name is rather odd since back in 1948 there had been no MK I to IV Jags. The MK IV designation was only given to the predecessor after the launch of the MK V.It was launched at the 1948 London Motor Show at Earl's Court, along with its famous sister the XK120, with traditional Jaguar styling, complete with upright chrome grille and elegant enameled badge.New suspension modifications included double wishbones and torsion bar which is an arrangement that would be used by the company for many future vehicles.
