The 1928 and 1929 models remained very similar with only small changes applied for the 1929 model. In 1930, a re-styled model A was launched with a taller grille shell and higher body line. The 1931 standard models were kept relatively the same with only a few cosmetic changes. A slant windscreen version of the sedan and cabriolet models was introduced in the later part of 1931 and remain quite rare as only small numbers were produced. |

The Model A engine is a 4 cylinder flathead design, developing 40 horse power at 2200 rpm. Unlike the previous Model T engine, the Model A powerplant used a more conventional battery, generator, coil and distributor system. Picture shows engine number 2,000,000 being lowered into a chassis on July 24th 1929. ( Is that Steve Martin in the picture)? |

Another milestone for Henry Ford arrived during Model A production. Henry Ford drives the 20 millionth Ford off the production line at the Rouge assembly plant on April 14th 1931.
