The
Ford Model A of
1927–1931 (also colloquially called the
A-Model Ford or the
A, and
A-bone among rodders and
customizers) was the second huge success for the Ford Motor Company,
after its predecessor, the Model T. First produced on October 20, 1927,
but not sold until December 2, it replaced the venerable Model T, which
had been produced for 18 years. This new Model A (a previous model had
used the name in 1903–1904) was designated as a 1927 model and was
available in four standard colors, but not black.
By 4 February 1929, one million
Model As had been sold, and by 24 July, two million.
The range of body styles ran from the Tudor at US$500 (in grey, green,
or black) to the Town Car with a dual cowl at US$1200. In March 1930, A
sales hit three million, and there were nine body styles available.
The Model A was produced
through 1931. When production ended in March, 1932, there were 4,849,340[
Model As made in all styles.
