Pictured here is an original Ford dealer postcard invitation to the introduction of the new 1930 Model A Ford on December 31st, 1929 at the J.T. Stoldt Ford Sales Service dealership in Attica, Ohio.
This invitation shows that the 'New' 1930 styling was officially introduced to the public at the time of the calendar year change, not much earlier.
The opposite side of the card is addressed to my father's aunt, who gave me the card some years ago.
The early 1928 introduction brochure below is also an original, though it is from a different dealership.
