Ford Model A during Testing, March 1931
Add to SetSummary
Ford sold nearly five million Model A cars over the 1928-1931 model years. Options for 1931 included a safety-glass windshield with two pieces of plate glass laminated to a clear plastic layer. If the windshield broke, the plastic held the glass pieces together to reduce the risk of cuts. This Model A appears to have endured a crash test.
