It was Charles Wilson, who was the head of GM, that made the statement at his confirmation hearing to become Secretary of Defense. From Wikipedia, " During the hearings, when asked if he could make a decision as Secretary of Defense that would be adverse to the interests of General Motors, Wilson answered affirmatively. But he added that he could not conceive of such a situation "because for years I thought what was good for our country was good for General Motors, and vice versa.""
As to the other question, it's my opinion that the Model A was one of the best cars every built. My V8 experience is with a 39 and a 45 and they drive me crazy with their quirks. Maybe when I get everything sorted out they will be different, but my A's always go. Maybe not fast, but they go.
