Ford Model A - Collector's Originality Guide

The definitive guide to one of the greatest cars in American history: The Ford Model A. The successor to the ubiquitous and world-changing Model T, the Model A arrived on the scene in 1928 to considerable fanfare, thanks to the marketing genius of Henry Ford.
And this much-hyped car delivered exactly what the public wanted: a solid, reliable, up-to-date - and beautiful - new car. Naturally, this car became an instant classic, and has been a favorite among collectors and restorers for decades.

In this paperback reissue of the highly popular hardcover book, author and photographer Jim Schild walks through all of the details of the Model A's four-year production, providing collectors with everything they need to know to identify, classify, and restore these fabulous cars.

More than 250 color photographs of authentically restored Model A vehicles display colors, trim combinations, and component details that you won't find anywhere else.
