Add to SetSummary
In naming its first product, Ford Motor Company logically settled on "Model A." The two-cylinder automobile could be fitted with an optional tonneau -- a rear seat compartment -- entered through a door in the back. The Model A was one of the first large-production cars with a steering wheel instead of a tiller. Total production was somewhere above 670 units.
