There has been a lot
There has been a lot of myths and folklore around the Model A since it debuted in 1927 and perhaps the most repeated Model A story is that Thomas Edison was gifted the very first production Model A by Henry Ford.
You've probably heard that the first Model A was a Tudor that was rebodied to a Phaeton at Edison's request. But that's not exactly true.
We spent quite a bit of time researching how this myth got started and whether or not Edison truly received the first Model A produced.
No matter when the car was assembled, Thomas Edison's personal Model A Phaeton is on long term loan to the Model A Ford Foundation Inc's Model A Museum at the Gilmore in Hickory Corners, MI. Seeing this car is worth the trip alone but you won't be disappointed with the dozens of Model A's in the museum as well as several relevant displays they have there.
