I'm 86 and have been there/seen it, the reason there are so many Model A's (and T's for that matter) is because of Henry's insistence on quality and simplicity, he had the best engineers, the best metallurgists and the best workforce, I hate to dump cold water on you Chevrolet guys but facts are facts, the Chevy of those days was a poor car in many ways, far too much wood in bodies, poorer steels, axles would break with cars parked, the OHV valves poorly oiled. In the T days Chev' owners would replace their axles with Ford T axles (they fit) to avoid breakdowns.
In short, one look at the survivor rate tells the story, Ford made one hell of a good car, that's why they're still going and why the Chevrolet's are gone, or nearly so.
There, I've said it and I'm glad folks
