I was aware of the political side of Henry Ford, having read quite a bit about his life, and it was not my intent for this to drift off subject, but thank you for that viewpoint also... maybe his feelings did have some affect on the lack of military Model A Fords. It just seemed odd to me that we did have a military after WWI, and I knew a bunch of T's were used for various reasons in the first war, but with the popularity and duriblity of the A, that we see very few pictures and I have never seen a Model A restored to military dress... Thank you, Brad in Germany, for taking the time to post your pictures. I had never seen a Model A in this configuration. Very interesting. Perhaps this could be a good subject for one of the Model A magazines...

thanks again,

Richard
