By the way, to augment this discussion, there was a terrific "Restorer" issue from the late 1960's that was dedicated to Model A's used by police forces back in the day. There was even a running pictorial "Gangbuster" account of how the police had chased a pair of criminals, complete with photos showing bullet holes shot into the pursuing police Model A. The final pictures show the two scumbags in custody. The clarity of the photos and the dramatic pictures of the people involved make me think they were posed for this story, not showing the real criminals. A pretty good issue overall, as I recall. Lots of period photos of Model A police cars and several of restored ones, as well as period and modern policemen in uniforms.
