Ford Hits Restart With the Model A

- Опубликовано: 20 июн 2024
- The Ford Model A was a bit of a reset for Ford. Similar to the Model T, it was a tool available to a larger market than most other vehicles. However, the Model A was more than just practical. It was stylish.

This gentleman gives a nice tribute to the Ford Model A. They are still very popular today, so Henry got it right.
Mr. O is dressed for the occasion as usual. This car is a triumph in American automotive history. Beautiful condition. Very nice. Thank you sir. ❤💙💙♥️👍😎
I drive my '28 Phaeton in cold weather without a heater and it's really not as cold as you might think. However, my daughter tells me the back seat passengers are in the tundra. Always fun shows, thanks for showcasing the Model A. That's a nice one.
My dad owns a 1931 Model A and Jay Leno's whipping boy, a 1931 Steudebaker Dictator, priced $500 and $850 new respectively. When you drive them one after the other you really understand what you get for the money.
The Ford is a charming and fun car to drive. But even the entry level Steudebaker with its smooth 70hp straight 8
engine is a much more capable car.
I drive my late 1930 Model A Deluxe Roadster several times a week. Supermarket, pizza, hardware store and people just light up with smiles.
Hi Donald . This perfectly illustrates the amazing progress in car technology . Thankyou Donald .
Donald, your music in the opening sequence it fantastic .
I always enjoy your solo driving videos no matter what the car. Cheers
That hat is so appropriate for a Model A ride!
Great review, Donald, of one of the most ubiquitous automobiles ever built. And what a great example, looks like it drives very well! Thank you for this wonderful video!
Yall get to drive so many cool cars!
We are very lucky and glad that we get to share the experience with our viewers.
Always a great show.
Thank you so much!
The Ford Model A is a wonderful automobile. My mother learned to drive a Model A Windsor. I remember it in my grandparents garage.
Hi, thanks so much for touring in a Model A!! My Dad had them back in the day, first car I every drove! I finally have my own, it's like a long lost family member! You can take a modern car for a spin around the block, but you are "Driving" a Model A, double clutching, manual adjust the distributor, mechanical brakes and so on! That is a beautiful roadster, wishing you many happy miles with it!!
My wife and I owned one as our only car for 8 years in the 1990s.
Hello. Always liked the A, have not owned one yet. Some day.
I had a friend whose father was a Chief of Police and he had a perfect Model "A" police car he let me drive once. It's one of the vintage cars I'd love to own someday.
The quality of the Audrain videos is outstanding. I would like to point out that Henry Ford indeed truly changed the world, and made possible, for better or for worse, the autocentric economy that has defined the prosperity of the past century. Although he later became intensely anti-union, although he was basically guilty of what we would call hate crimes against Catholics and Jews, nobody can deny that he changed the world, and gave everyman a chance to even make the economy, once he or she could afford a motor vehicle. I wish more had been said about the efforts of Edsel Ford, a car guy from birth, who was driving at age eight and as a teen was regaled with Bugattis and Bentleys, who had struggled for years to improve the Model T, later struggling to get to build the forties Continentals, but finally gained Henry's approval to complete the Model A project. A very human and admirable man who ultimately was destroyed by his father. I think Henry was independently working on a risky X-shaped power plant at the time of the A. But no mistake, all the Fords were car people through and through. Henry actually drove racing cars he built to publicize the marque but were dangerous as hell==he nearly was killed and abandoned that practice. Grandson Henry "Deuce" was portrayed in a bad film about Carroll Shelby as a bureaucrat par excellence which he was, but also as an automotive cretin terrified by motor cars and Ken Miles' demonstration drive--in fact, like Vincenzo Lancia and the Aprilia, this big stocky man stuffed himself in a little prototype Ford Cortina with stickshift and disappeared for an entire day in London only to return enthusing, "This is a great car!"
Interesting that the body is a 1930, but the dash looks like a 28,29. Could it be a very early 1930? Henry was famous at using up old inventory.
That he was. Weirdly, I owned a 1970 Dodge Challanger titled as a 69.
In HS I had a 1929 A Pickup with a Chevy small block...
🎶Henry’s made a lady out of Lizzie🎶
2 cool
Is black or Washington blue in color?
Washington Blue!
What drives better--a 1930 Ford or Chevrolet? Is the Ford's lack of a 6 a real problem?
It was a perception problem. 6s sold better than 4s. That is why they built the v8. People cared about the number of cylinders. More is better. Or so the general public believed.
The Model A today is still more practical for daily usage than ANY modern supercar.
We wouldn't go that far, but yes the Model A is quite practical

The early Plymouth (1928-1931) Model Q, U, and PA were all contemporaries of the Ford Model A and much more advanced. Of course, the Ford Model A was more advanced than the earlier Model T... but it was not at all a market leader in engineering. Plymouth introduced 4-wheel hydraulic brakes to the low-priced field (1928)... followed later by all-steel construction and independent front suspension. The Model A is better looking than the early Plymouths which is its only advantage.
The Plymouth descended from Maxwell who was an innovator. The Plymouth was $700 while the A was $400.
@@stanwbaker By 1931 the Plymouth was much closer in price to the Ford. Plymouth sales grew strongly during the 1930s while Ford lost market share. Chevrolet became the most popular low-priced car by 1936.
Um, need to take the whiskey bottle away from the editor....
Why is that?
