Whether it was ever the ''first Model A'' [ A1] is doubtful, but it is commonly believed to be the ''First Model A that Edison was Given'' & lacking any official documentation, that is what most enthusiasts will want to carry on believing?
It is interesting that there were perhaps two types [ upper & lower style] of engine number pads used in initial 1927 production.

Tom,
Was the engine changed out and put into an already assembled Phaeton car OR did FORD remove the Tudor body from the chassis and replace it with a Phaeton body on said chassis?
