Description

A “Model AR" nickname and this car's serial number, A4095, indicates that it was built in December 1927 and was one of the first Model As to come off the line. This was supposedly one of the first Model As to arrive in Maine. Besides small body differences, the AR differs from the A in multiple ways. Some notable differences include the handbrake’s location to the left of the driver’s seat, a “Powerhouse” generator, and a red steering wheel.
