Tin Lizzie had become a lady. The Model A Ford was designed in 1929 by designers Preston, Lambert, and Smith. The 1929 model had a brighter trim and body paint as well as a new exterior door handles on open models, such as phaeton. The designers used various colour schemes for the new ford model. a great profit was made from the new 1929 models. A total amount of $81,797,861 was made from the Model A Fords. 159,786 brand new 1929 Model A Fords were sold. Henry Ford had his engineer to study a way to have his production line move faster. There were very few changes in the Model T over the next fifteen years. After the First World War, Ford retired and placed his son Edsel in charge. When Ford bought out his Wills and Dodge Brothers shares in 1918, he was the sole owner. Even though Ford was the top seller, Edsel saw some competition making inroads into its sales. He wanted to make changes to keep pace with his competition. At first his father objected, but in 1929, the Model A ford was ready for sale. A completely new car and a safe future for the Ford company was secured. Lambert, Preston and Smith designed the interior and exterior of the Model A Ford Car.
