'31 was the last year for the Model a--28-31
Henry Ford wanted to build the A for another 15 years like he did the T,
but son Edsel convince him to move on.
There was actually a Model B-- 4 cylinder engine that was sold briefly in '32,
but soon the V8 took over--the B engine was a stronger version of the A engine
and was a sought after conversion for Model A's.

Same size as Harley solo (with skirts) that it is replacing.
