I think it had something to do with Henry Ford's roots as a country boy growing up in the Michigan area. I thought I have read where he also considered the cottontail rabbit.Both are simple non exotic as is the Model A and quick on the takeoff. I think if what I have read about Henry choosing the quail is true it is one of the best decisions he had made. I remember myself rabbit hunting on our country property and occasionally kicking up a quail what a start it would give you,now today I have not seen a bobwhite quail in years.
