Harry Shay Founded the "Model A and Model T Motor Car Reproduction
Corporation" also known as "Shay Motors Corporation" in the spring
of 1978. In conjunction with Ford Motor Corporation, Shay set out
to build a limited number of Model A reproduction cars to mark the
50th Anniversary of the car. Shay had a great deal worked out with
Ford as ford waived its design patents so the Shay roadster could
be built, and Ford marketed and sold the Shay Model A through its
Ford Lincoln Mercury dealerships. Ford loved the publicity, just as
in December of 1927, dealers reported 200 to 600 people coming
through their showrooms when they first displayed the Shay. Not
since the introduction of the Mustang had the dealerships seen so
much activity. The Shay was identical to the original in
appearance. The fiberglass body was of such excellent quality, even
the keenest eye could hardly make out the difference. The
mechanicals and suspension were significantly upgraded from the
original, giving the Shay a modern feel and could handle the
driving and traffic demands of the modern-day. Today, the Shay
Model A's remain very popular as the more modern mechanics keep
them a very usable classic.
