Last Model A is produced
The last Ford Model A was produced, ending an era for the Ford
Motor Company. The successor to the Model T, the Model A was an
attempt to escape the image of bare bones transportation that had
driven both the Model T's success and its ultimate failure in the
market. The vastly improved Model A boasted elegant Lincoln-like
styling, a peppy 40 horsepower four-cylinder engine, and, of
course, a self-starting mechanism. The Model A was as affordable
as its predecessor, however, and with a base price at $460, five
million Model A's would roll onto American highways between 1927
and 1932.
