1927 Ford Model A Newspaper Marketing Campaignn
 

Was running through old Wyoming newspaper articles on a completely different topic and happened down a path of following Henry Ford's marketing campaign for the introduction of the Model A in Nov/Dec 1927. Though I would share.

You don't see ads like those in the news paper today. Of course, you don't see news papers today.

You mainly see newspapers today on the internet - what is hard to do is hold one in your hands.

Cool ads. Thanks for these, makes for interesting reading! Just recently purchased my first "A", a frame-off resto, 1929 Fordor Leatherback. Grew up around Model A's on the farm, belonged to my uncle. Wanted one ever since was a kid.

We made a video a few years back talking about the week-long newspaper ad campaign Ford did in late November and early December of 1927 to announce The New Ford.
Check it out if you have a couple of minutes.

Nice A! Welcome to the Forum!

Thanks Steve. I brought it home last week. A 7 year total frame-off restoration.
Is your '28 a 60-A Leatherback? Would you mind sending me a larger pic of it via PM or email? Cool that it's been in your family since '63.


Thanks -

Yes, mine is a leatherback. If you look in my pictures you can find a couple of decent ones. The one in the snow is when I brought it home to get it cleaned up for my dad's funeral 3 years ago. The one with me beside it was at a cruise in earlier this year. It was originally rose beige and seal brown and my dad kept those colors when he restored it.

Thanks Steve, that's great. :) Mine is the same color combo with the orange pin stripe, as just added 3 pics to an album.
