The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Change in driving between Model T and Model A

rivcokid · 07-14-2020, 11:31 AM

I got to wondering the other day. The way a Model T and Model A are driven is radically different. Was there any effort (education campaign, books, etc) done in 1928 to re-educate Ford owners on how to operate the new Model A? Say I bought a 1924 Model T and drove it for a few years. It's now 1928 and I'd like to buy a new Ford - was I handed an instruction book? Did the dealers have classes or individual tutoring sessions? Or, like when I worked in local government and got a new software program on my computer, was I just told to figure it out? I tried looking online for stuff but came up empty. Anyone ever look into this?
