Following the period
in which the Model T gave a boost to the motorization boom, Ford
tried to accommodate consumer needs by pursuing a large number of
changes in its car designs and concentrated on variations of the
auto body. In competition with Chevrolet during the mid-1920s, Ford
offered the consumer the option of balloon tires, a chrome-plated
parts, and even the color of choice. However, in most respects,
it basically remained unchanged and could not match the competition.
Its time was drawing to a close, and on May 26, 1927 production
of the grand Model T was finally suspended. |

The appearance of
the Model A created such a sensation that it became one of the top
10 news items of 1927. The Model A departed radically from the precedent
set by the Model T and had an entirely new design. Some major changes
include the adoption of a three-speed transmission for shifting
gears and four-wheel braking, but the highly appealing styling adopted
by Edsel Ford was based on studying the Lincoln, a luxury model. |
