Henry Ford spent most his first years fighting off the idea of changing the Model T which produced and sold over 15 million models before his son Edsel finally convinced him that some new features and comforts were necessary. On May 25th 1927 Ford announced the shutdown of the plant and production of the Model A and began retooling the entire factory to begin its new and improved version the Model A. They completed this process in almost 6 months and had cars pumping out quickly which was only ...possible due to Edsel secretly marshaling the design and sketch team to begin working on the new model prior to Henry ever even approving such a change.
