Vehicle Description
The Ford Model T had dominated the automotive market from the
mid-1910's through the early 1920's but started to erode as
competitors began catching up with Fords successful mass production
system. It had become apparent to most in the company that it was
time to begin a new model, but Henry Ford was resistant. With
"luxury" features coming out such as electric starters in most of
General Motors products, newer exterior designs fit to the era they
were entering, Ford was forced to compete and began their Model-A
design. At first, Henry did not want to worry about looks or
features but to spend their energy on the mechanical aspects which
had been the primary reason for success on their Model T. Although
many improvements with the engine power and overall stability were
improved, it proved to be short of what was necessary, a new
cosmetic appeal. For this Henry called upon his son, Edsel, who
showed how successful it could be with his design. After years of
compliments on its curb appeal, Henry started to take credit for it
himself although his son was clearly more hands on with this
project. The era of mass production had officially passed and the
era of "flexible mass production" had begun and regardless of who
was more responsible for this model, Ford in general showed once
again how well they could adapt and stay on top.
