Ford used an alphabetical system to name his cars. He produced the Quadricycle first and then made many prototypes which were named A thru S. Among them was a Model A produced before the Model T. After the Model T he again used the Model A to designate the successor to the Model T. He explained that the car was so new and different he decided to start over with his alphabetical designation.
The t in model t stands for testing
There was a Ford Model A built before the Model T. But the model right after the Model T was again the Model A. This is confusing but after the Model T Henry Ford decided the to start over with the Model designation.
The Ford Model T was known as 'Tin Lizzie' , T, Flivver, & T Model.
Ford started with the model A and, through a series of prototypes and actual vehicles, he arrived at the Model T which quickly caught on in the market. The model T replaced the model N as the most popular Ford vehicle. Subsequently, Ford released the Model A. It was not named the Model U because Plymouth had released their first vehicle which was already named the Model U. Therefore, Ford started back at A.
Mostly anyone that collects/restores vintage cars... Some restoration shops may purchase the car because original Parts for Model T Fords are hard to come by.
