Back in Florida with a car battery problem. While I was waiting, a man drove by with a 1928 Model A Ford. (I know only because I asked him.)
I asked if 1928 was an early year for Model A's. He told me it was the Model A's first year and this car was so early that Henry Ford might have been there to watch it roll off the line.
Looks like there are other Model A's in town. Saw this the next day on Fifth Avenue South. No idea if it is original, what year, a replica or what.

Wow, that's quite a coincidence to see two in two days. Maybe there's a meet of Model A's nearby! They are extraordinary cars.
There is an easy way to tell the '28-'29 Model A from the '30-'31. Look at the line between the cowl and the hood. The '28-'29 is more curved with a distinct line. The '30-'31 is smoother from cowl to hood. Also the 1928 roadsters have no external door handles. These are great cars. Affordable Fords transformed American society.
Great to see.
