In 1927, Ford began making a replacement for the Model T, the Model A. The Model A was available in four standard colors.In 1930, there were nine body styles available for the Model A and sales hit three million. When production ended in 1932, nearly five million of these cars had been sold.
The Model A differed from the earlier Model T in several respects. First, the Model A used the standard set of driver controls—conventional clutch and brake pedals, throttle, and gearshift. It also had safety glass in the windshield. A rearview mirror was optional and for those who wanted heat, an aftermarket cast iron unit could be purchased which was placed over the exhaust manifold and provided heat to the cab.
