There are some historical records and documentation that states Henry went through the letters of the alphabet with his cars until he hit success with the Model T.He said with the later A,it was a fresh start so he was starting over with A again.My mother has pictures of DR.Mitchell here in town with his new 1903 Model A with his driver.He doctored both people and animals,and had to run out to farms at all hours of the day or night.He couldn't drive himself,he had a hired driver that had to be available at all times.That must have been quite a job,hang around and wait to run off at a moments notice.In later years he had a T snowmobile to get to the farms in the winter.
