1930 Ford Advertisement, "An Admired Grace of Line and Contour"
01
Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company's Model A, introduced for 1928, had many advantages over its predecessor Model T, not the least of which was superior style. Edsel Ford, whose talent for aesthetics counterbalanced his father's mechanical skill, led the styling of the new car. He borrowed cues from the contemporary Lincoln, leading some to describe the Model A as a "Baby Lincoln."
