Vehicle Description
Shay Motors Corporation was an automobile company founded by Harry
J. Shay in February 1978 as the Model A Model T Motor Car
Reproduction Corporation. Harry Shay arranged with Ford Motor
Company to build a limited run, modern-day reproduction of the Ford
Model A Roadster, with a rumble seat, that was to be sold through
the network of Ford Automobile Dealers and built in Battle Creek,
Michigan. It was hoped that displaying the vehicles in Ford dealer
showrooms would increase potential customer visits and sales.
