THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
Ford practically owned that market with its indomitable Model T that had ruled America's roadways since it first rolled into driveways in 1908. But when old Henry Ford was finally convinced that the 'Tin Lizzie's' day was done, production was shut down for the change over from 'T' to 'A'.
The similarities between the 'A' and the 'T' were great. Both were four-cylinder, water-cooled vehicles with solid axles front and rear, leaf-spring suspension and mechanical drum brakes on all four corners. They were both rugged and inexpensive to run. However, there were at least 1,800 differences between the new cars. A simple matter of arithmetic, the 'T' had 5,000 different parts and the 'A' had 6,800. One of the biggest differences is that the Model T's flat head four displaced 176.7 cubic inches and produced 20 horsepower. The 'A' on the other hand, used a 200.5cid engine to generate double the output to go through a new three-speed transmission to the rear wheels.
Offered here is a Coupe version of the Model A, bearing a nice-looking color scheme mixing various shades from olive green to black. Having been lightly used over the past few years, this elegant Model A Coupe should need a mechanical overhaul before extensive usage.
