Artifact Overview

Henry Ford and Edsel Ford were photographed in a happy moment after the introduction of the all-new Ford Model A in December 1927. Edsel Ford had pushed his reluctant father to replace the aging Model T when sales slumped in the mid-1920s. The Model A was a hit. Ford sold nearly five million of them over the car's four-year production run.
