Default Re: The true history on Edison's Model A...

We know that Henry stamped engine A1 & that it went into a Tudor. Sometime later [I have a date of 31st May '28] that engine went into a Phaeton for Edisons use.
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.
