Portrait of Henry Ford, 1927

01

Artifact Overview

The year 1927 was a pivotal one for Henry Ford. Model T production ended in May after 19 years and 15 million cars. Its replacement, the Model A, was introduced to critical and commercial success in December, but only after a difficult six-month shutdown of Ford Motor Company plants for re-tooling.
