Artifact Overview

Edsel Ford worked hard to convince his father, Henry Ford, that Ford Motor Company needed to replace the aging Model T with a new vehicle. After a few years of persuasion -- and a few years of falling T sales -- Edsel Ford prevailed, and the new Ford Model A made its public debut on December 2, 1927.
