The Model A followed the Model T and came off the line in 1927. By the end of 1930, Ford had sold 4 million of them. While the Model T remained a very popular car, the Model A had 200 cubes with 40 horses, twice as powerful as the Model T. She had four wheel mechanical brakes vice two, and shock absorbers vice leaf springs. The new car had over 6800 parts, far more than the Model T, which had fewer than 5000. Remember that this was the time of the Great Depression. Nonetheless, Ford sold 4.5 million Model A's between 1927-1931.
