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.

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.
