Labeled as a 1919 " Model A Ford". 1919 looks plausible, but Model A Ford does not-- Ford was producing Model T's exclusively in 1919. Ford made a short lived Model A in 1903 - 1904, and then the name "Model A" was revived by Ford for a completely different vehicle that was one of the most popular of the late 1920s and early 1930s. Neither of them look anything like this; see the categories for examples. Might it be the "Model A" of some company other than Ford? It looks like an electric vehicle to me. -- Infrogmation 17:13, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

After some research and comparing images, I'm pretty sure this must be a Detroit Electric Model A Victoria, and have changed the image description accordingly. -- Infrogmation 17:25, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There were few changes year-by-year; if 1919 is correct, this is a Detroit Electric Series 70-A Brougham. There were several types of them for 4-5 paasengers. --Chief tin cloud (talk) 14:38, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
