Your car has a low compression ratio and any gasoline above 87 octane is just wasting your money unless you want to advance your spark a bit beyond the factory recommendation which might give you 3-5 more horsepower, hardly worth the effort and expense IMO.
When you describe your car, you should refer to it as a 23rd series 1949 to differentiate it from a 22nd series 1949.
