The 1928 and 1929 models remained very similar with only small changes applied for the 1929 model.

In 1930, a re-styled model A was launched with a taller grille shell and higher body line. The 1931 standard models were kept relatively the same with only a few cosmetic changes. A slant windscreen version of the sedan and cabriolet models was introduced in the later part of 1931 and remain quite rare as only small numbers were produced.

The Model A engine is a 4 cylinder flathead design, developing 40 horse power at 2200 rpm.
Unlike the previous Model T engine, the Model A powerplant used a more conventional battery, generator, coil and distributor system.

Picture shows engine number 2,000,000 being lowered into a chassis on July 24th 1929.

( Is that Steve Martin in the picture)?

Another milestone for Henry Ford arrived during Model A production.
