Product Description
The "New Ford" was introduced in December of 1927. With a rare eye for design, the very appearance of the car suggested character. It implied integrity and promised performance. Incorporating a radically different sliding gear transmission. shock absorbers, twice the horsepower of the earlier Model T, and only a slightly increased price, loyal Ford owners without hesitation "laid it on the line" and acquired a new Ford.

Hours after driving the car for the first time, most were convinced that here at last was an automobile that not only "belonged", but which actually led the way into the future. No longer the butt of comics' humor, the new Ford had joined the country club set and in the words of a song written by Walter O'Keefe and shortly to become immensely popular......

"Henry Made a Lady Out of Lizzie".

Superb October 10, 2008
Another fine offering from author Ray Miller. Love for the car is palpable. Primary source documents are present. The photographs are excellent. I've had the pleasure of running across a couple of Miller's books about Chevrolet, and they are also wonderful pieces of work.

excellent book April 19, 2008
Probably the best book on the subject of the Model A Ford. In depth coverage of even the smallest detail of these cars.

As an owner of a recently restored Model A this book is a MUST. Contained in it are all the fine points regarding the various body types and accessories. No wonder this book serves as a primer for the expert judging of Model A's.

The real nitty-gritty of the Model A Ford April 2, 1999

This book is a "keeper" for anyone with an interest in the Ford Model "A". All of the various body styles from 1928 to 1931 are covered in detail. High quality photos accompany descriptions of both "standard" and "optional" features found on each body style. Kudos to the author and the photographer for a high quality book.
