Description
'The gift of being able to sugar the "pill" of utility with an attractive coating has always been a notable facet of the Ford Motor Company...
Ford could make a utility car still look like a "car", low purchase price often being accompanied by a lively performance and good fuel economy...' - Bruce Hudson, British Light Cars 1930-1939 .
Replacement for the ubiquitous Model T, the Model A went on sale in December 1927.
A more complex car than its predecessor, the 'A' was also more powerful, its four-cylinder sidevalve engine producing 40bhp - double the output of the T - which was good enough for a top speed of 65mph.
A three-speed sliding gear transmission replaced the T's planetary gears, there was coil-and-battery instead of magneto ignition and at last there was a brake for each wheel.
The T's ungainly styling was abandoned and the eagerly awaited Model A's up-to-the-minute looks, choice of colours and, needless to say, competitive pricing, helped ensure its success.
