5.0 out of 5 stars An Oldie but a Goodie!, April 1, 2002

This review is from: The Ford Model "A" "As Henry Built It": A Color, Upholstery and Production Facts Book (Hardcover)

I first read this book in the early 1970s as I was restoring my Model A Ford. I bought every book I could that described my favorite antique vehicle. This book was the best and is STILL the best book in my Model A library.

The three authors were, I believe, all Ford Employees that worked in the Ford archives, so they had access to a LOT of original Model A Ford information. The book starts with an introduction of the transition from Model T to Model A and describes historically what happened in the years between 1927 and 1932.

Loaded with Ford archives photographs, the book is a fascinating history and also a big assist to those restoring a Model A, since there are so many good photos of what the cars looked like when new. Many charts and figures add to the usefulness of the book.

One would think that 30 years after production, there would be lots of errors or omissions - not true here. These guys did their homework!

If you can only buy one book on the Model A Ford, get this one. You won't be disappointed.
