I had aways thought that the reason Model A's survived in such great numbers was because of the limited use of wood in the construction of the bodies. I also thought that the reason there were few Chevy's was that Fisher relied on metal panels tacked to wood frames which rotted and fell apart.

Yes but does Smokey's cowl pillar look like Mike's??
It really isn't as much that these were in a constant state of refinement as it is the bodystyle. There were more than one type of Fordor bodystyle at any given time.
