Technical

Model A is the model introduced by Ford after 19 years of model T production and over 15 million produced. Facing the harsh competition with Chevrolet (GM), Ford had to innovate and present a new model. The model A was first introduced in December 1927. In Canada, it was produced from March 1928 until 1932. Model A was equipped with more modern equipment like a three-speed transmission instead of the out-dated planetary transmission. There was an instrument panel with a gasoline gauge, speedometer, ammeter and ignition lock. The engine was more powerful. The model A was also more comfortable than its predecessor. The car was also more stylish, and had three different body styles. It was a popular car.
