Quick Answer
Ford built the Model A from 1927 to 1931 (1928 to 1931 as the main run), the successor to the Model T. It used a 201 cubic inch four-cylinder making about 40 hp and came in dozens of body styles, from the coupe and Tudor sedan to the roadster, phaeton, and pickup.

The Model A replaced the long-running Model T and was a big step up in refinement.

The short, prolific run

Production ran from late 1927 into 1931, with roughly five million built. The 201 cubic inch L-head four made about 40 hp through a conventional three-speed, a real improvement over the Model T planetary setup.

Body styles

Ford offered an unusually wide range: coupe, business coupe, Tudor and Fordor sedans, roadster, phaeton, cabriolet, station wagon, and a pickup. The roadster and coupe are the hot-rod favorites; the closed cars are the affordable entry.
