Artifact Overview
The 1931 model year was the last for Ford's Model A. The final cars featured new radiator shells and, starting mid-year, optional laminated safety glass. Prices ranged from $490 for the standard coupe to $630 for the town sedan. The Great Depression halved Ford's annual production to 541,000 cars -- enough for total 1928-1931 Model A production to approach 5 million.
