Book Description

December 4, 2009 Collector's Originality Guide

Collector's Originality Guide: Ford Model A is the definitive guide to one of the greatest cars in American history: The Ford Model A. The successor to the ubiquitous and world-changing Model T, the Model A arrived on the scene in 1928 to considerable fanfare, thanks to the marketing genius of Henry Ford. And this much-hyped car delivered exactly what the public wanted: a solid, reliable, up-to-date--and beautiful--new car. Naturally, this car became an instant classic, and has been a favorite among collectors and restorers for decades.

In this paperback reissue of the highly popular hardcover book, author and photographer Jim Schild walks through all of the details of the Model A's four-year production, providing collectors with everything they need to know to identify, classify, and restore these fabulous cars. Filled with gorgeous color photography, this book has been and continues to be a must-have for all Model A fans.

From the Back Cover

Introduced in 1928, the Model A propelled Ford away from its humble Model T past. The Model A was thoroughly modern, and the buying public responded enthusiastically to the car’s styling and engineering advances. Ford sold more than five million examples, and the Model A became a landmark in American automotive history.

     Collector’s Originality Guide: Ford Model A is a comprehensive and detailed guide to the original factory specifications, equipment, colors, and trim of the 1928–1931 Model A. From roadsters to sedans, town cars, coupes, and trucks, vintage car expert Jim Schild covers every body style to provide the most complete and accurate Model A reference available. More than 250 color photographs of authentically restored Model A vehicles display colors, trim combinations, and component details that you won’t find anywhere else.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Collector's Originality Guide Ford Model A (Paperback)
I thought I was getting 'The Original Model A' by Jim Schild. This author wrote many books with similar titles, and this is not the one my husband was wanting. The covers are all the same as well.
