What happened on December 2 1927 ???
December 2 - On this
day in 1927, Ford announced the successor to the
Model T - our Model A. The 1928 Model A was an immediate sensation. Some 10 million people viewed the new vehicle in the first week. The crowds gathered in such numbers that many cities needed to send police to help direct traffic around those who lined up to see the new Ford.
Read all about it on this page.

Toy Car
November 17 - A member sent in this photo of a toy car which resembles a Model A Tudor Sedan.
