Here's another look at that 1948 Lincoln Continental I posted a few weeks ago. It is difficult to make out, but the word "Twelve" on the center of the steering wheel refers to the car's 12-cylinder engine. 847 of these vehicles were manufactured in 1948. As I write this description, a quick peek at classiccars.com lists 18 of them for sale.
I've made a hobby of photographing cars close up. I love the distorted reflections in the chrome of great old cars. At car shows, I'm the guy sitting on the ground with my camera, getting the right angle on a bumper, grille, or hub cap.

I check Wikipedia but I don't have the same info in French and English. In English they talk that the technology was invented in the 30's, but in French they talk that the "first" radio station using FM was in 1945.
So I would assume that the radio was only AM at that time since there was so little radio station on the FM band. It would be a wast of resource for them to created a AM/FM radio if FM was still experimental.

According to this 2010 article from Car and Driver, Blaupunkt introduced the first in-car FM radio in 1952. It doesn't say when they became offered as standard equipment, though. Other sources indicate that FM was optional in I'm full size Ford and General Motors vehicles as early as 1963.
