Best Answer

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.
