The Ford Barn

I have just been lucky enough to view the DVD about the ''20 millionth''[Ford] Model A. Interesting details crop up ; it comes off the assembly line with one tailamp but later on the tour acquires twin rear lamps plus a chrome tire guard. I liked the bit where Henry approaches the car on the line & leaps over the side rail to get to it.
The restoration piece is interesting & it looks like they had a very good car to start with. It is back to one tailamp & has all black paintwork, eventhough it seems to have been maroon & black originally.
Does anyone have any other things they spotted or little known facts on this significant Model A?

I have a copy of the article written for the L'anse Michigan paper. Dave Cella is a friend of mine and was part of the 'story'....
