Is that a fact? Henry wanted something revolutionary to replace his beloved Model T & had X8 cylinder engines working but could not overcome tech. problems. The Model A he was not really keen on [ too conventional] but had to replace outdated Model T quickly.
The X8 led to experimenting for an en block V8 which started in 1930 & continued until success in early '32. Probably Henrys finest achievement?
