Ford Model A

United States 1929

After the Model T was officially discontinued in 1927, the biggest problem for Ford Motor Company became how to continue its brilliant sales performance. On October 27, 1927, Ford Motor Company launched the new Model A, which was the first attempt to combine mass production with aesthetics at that time. Ford Motor Company used the standardized driving operation control mechanism for the first time in the Model A. In addition, Model A was equipped with a complete vehicle electrical system with a modern concept, a 3-speed manual gearbox, and a 4-wheel drum brake.

Since 1930, nickel-plated radiators, headlight covers, wider front fenders, higher engine compartment covers and larger wheels make the appearance of Model A more elegant at that time. The 8-valve naturally aspirated 3.3L inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine has a rated power of 29kw, making the maximum speed of Model A reach 120 km / h.
