Before the moving assembly line and before the Model T, there was the car that saved Henry Ford's company. The 1903 Ford Model A was the humble, reliable vehicle that proved Ford Motor Company was viable, funding the revolution that would come.

🔥 In this video, we explore:

The desperate origins: how this simple two-cylinder runabout was built with $28,000 in cash from 12 investors to keep the fledgling Ford Motor Company from bankruptcy.

Its surprisingly advanced specs for 1903: 8 horsepower, a 2-speed planetary transmission, and a top speed of 30 mph, making it a competitive and practical choice.

The "St. Louis" test drive that secured the company's first major sale and the crucial cash flow that allowed Henry Ford to dream bigger.

We see how the Model A wasn't a technological marvel, but a commercial lifeline. It was the proof of concept that demonstrated Ford could build a reliable, affordable car for the masses, directly paving the way for the world-changing Model T just five years later.
