It makes sense to me that, by 1942, the used-car pricing of both 1930 Fords and 1930 Chevys would be pretty low. But the Model A would have been less expensive to operate/maintain, and thus would have been more likely to be kept on as working cars by someone for whom maybe it was the only car they could afford – thus escaping the scrap heap.
