Model A Standard Phaeton Soft Top (1930s)
American passenger car In the 1920s, the American entrepreneur and car designer Henry Ford began to develop a new car model that was supposed to replace the famous Ford Model T, which was produced for 18 years. According to legend, the first drawing of the future car was made by Henry Ford's son, Edsel. At least he was the one who sketched the design options for the car's radiator and dashboard. The first copy of the new car, named Ford Model A, was produced on October 20, 1927, and serial production began in December of the same year. During serial production, Ford made changes to the design of the car, the main of which were related to installing a body with more space and improving its appearance. Cars produced after 1930 had a modified external radiator, a new shape of the fenders of the front wheels, and smaller wheels. Buyers were offered a large number of different options, among which they could choose different body types: coupe, convertible, sedan, phaeton, roadster, pickup and others. Production of the Ford Model A ceased in 1931. A total of 4,849,340 Ford Model A models were produced in all variants.
