Let me assure you that a lot of thought went into naming the car. It was the first Model A I remember my dad owning. I think he may have had one earlier but it was before I was born. Anyway my dad was a big man and he went by Willie, so we named it after him. Also I understand that Henry Ford called the Special Coupe handsome. There is a Special Coupe that Henry drove to work and it would not be hard to imagine that body style 49a could have been Henry's favorite. So we decided to make an exception to the rule of calling automobile's HER or SHE.
