    The fact that they are still around thrilling drivers after 90+ years is a testament to the quality that Henry put in them. Happy Birthday Model As!!!!

    Thanks guys! It's the model A's Birthday!! One only has to wonder what would have happened if Henry hadn't been so possessive of the T and let Edesl in the loop earlier! What if the A had come out in 1924 or 1925? We would have even MORE Model A's out there!! My dear departed Mother just LOVED those Claxton fruit cakes! I would buy small ones for her every year at the holidays!

    And don't forget, Henry Ford rescued some of the unemployeds in Cologne, Germany from poverty. When its major and later Chancelor Conrad Adenauer tried his best to get the Ford Assembly line over to his city. Ford used also lots of local supplier to assemble the Model A. Like "Hella-Lamps". Bosch, Varta. Varta is now history, sadly. Later Fords got also german names. Sadly, this is a little bit forgotten these days. As well as the fact, that Henry made some good money with that man who carried this little mustache under its nose...
    Anyway, I love your cars, and even more since I saw one here in England, last week. I think, they are the cheapest classic cars to drive in our time. Because you still find lots of parts for them. Try to find parts for much younger cars like Audi Quattro, first generation, or Opel Kapitan, or the older Fiats. You can search a long time.

    • @ModelA
      @ModelA  День тому

      Thank you for adding that history to this! Yes, Ford did business with "that guy", because that guy was leader of a country at the time and Ford wanted to do business in that country. People think that meant Ford supported that guy's thinking. No, you're right, just a businessman trying to do business with another country.
