The first 1903 Model A

Before the Model T there was the Model A. 

In 1903 after two previous attempts at producing a car, Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company began selling this car. In 1903 and 1904 1750 Model As were produced.  According to the March/April, 1978 issue of Antique Automobile, the car above is the first car sold by the company, it went to Dr. H. Wellington Yates of Akron Ohio. In the driver seat is Harold Hartley, beside him is his cousin Dorothy Yates. This conflicts with the Wikipedia entry on the subject but of course, that would be a subject of discussion.
