1930 Ford Advertising Proof, "An Admired Grace of Line and Contour"
Add to SetSummary
Sometimes referred to as a "baby Lincoln," the Ford Model A shared a family resemblance with its upscale corporate cousin. The styling of both vehicles was largely influenced by Edsel Ford, who had an innate sense of form and the designer's eye that his father, Henry Ford, lacked. The Model A's good looks were a sure part of its success.
