How many of the 15,000,000 Model A's built between 1928 and 1931 are there still on the road? How do you take a census of cars? Shouldn't you count the number of road worthy cars world wide? I suppose you could canvas the individual Departments of Motor Vehicles in every state but would they cooperate or be able to break down their data to specify a single car company and set of years?

The number of Model A's must be an important consideration when a producer decides to offer manufacture of a needed reproduction part. What is his potential market and repeat market for a part? Considering the number of mail order parts franchises in existence and the amazing variety of parts down to the last detail available, there must be thought to be hundreds of thousands of Model A's still chugging the back roads. Can there really be that many Model A's?
