1920-1929 Ford model A

Ford model A/ A model Ford. Nicknamed A bone followed the footsteps of the model T

Origin: During the up-rise in the automotive industry; To follow up the success that Henry Ford had made through his Model T, he had taken it upon himself to make another better car. As a car of the Brass era, it was a huge deal that there was a car under development of such sort. The Brass era was the name of time period when the automotive industry started to rapidly rise, However, during the mid-1920s, this dominance eroded as competitors, notably General Motors, caught up with Ford's mass production system and began to outcompete Ford in some areas, especially by offering more powerful engines, new convenience features, or cosmetic customization.

Purpose Ford's sales force recognized the threat and advised Henry Ford to respond to it. Initially he resisted, but the T's sagging market share finally forced him to admit a replacement was needed. When he finally agreed to begin development of this new model, he focused on the mechanical aspects and on what today is called design for manufacturability (DFM), which he had always strongly embraced and for which the Model T production system was famous. SO basically meant to replace the ford model t

Value: Although ultimately successful, the development of the Model A included many problems that had to be resolved. For example, the die stamping of parts from sheet steel, which the Ford company had led to new heights of development with the Model T production system, was something Henry had always been ambivalent about; it had brought success, but he felt that it was not the best choice for durability. He was determined that the Model A would rely more on drop forgings than the Model T; but his ideas to improve the DFM of forging did not prove practical. Eventually, Ford's engineers persuaded him to relent, lest the Model A's production cost force up its retail price too much. It was during the period from the mid-1920s to early 1930s that the limits of the first generation of mass production, epitomized by the Model T production system, became apparent. The era of "flexible mass production" had begun. 

Limitations: World War One was behind everyone by now, even though there were still effects of it but it was the past, the car tell us how the cost of it went during the time  period compared to other vehicles
