Trivia: Why did the Model A follow the Model T?
The production model immediately before the Model T was the Ford Model S, an upgraded version of the company's largest success to that point, the Model N.
The follow-up was the Ford Model A and not the Model U.
Company publicity said this was because the new car was such a departure from the old that Henry wanted to start all over again with the letter A. As it happens, the first Plymouth car (1928), built by competitor Chrysler Corporation, was named the Model U.

The Hassler Shock Absorber
Used on the more top heavy Model T's.. .to keep the side to side sway down to a minimum
One of the first shock absorbers it seems... for an ad that Google Books has that has a good visual on them: http://books.google.com/books?id=EyUAAAAAMAAJ&pg=RA1-PA4&lpg=RA1-PA4&dq=hassler+shock+absorber&source=bl&ots=JPJllT-4Xu&sig=D7nJC12zpauxVehTZsCQg-7Dw64&hl=en&ei=F1v-Se64DoLhtgfr6q3GCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9#PRA1-PA4,M1

Mopar engines... mild to wild... don't believe me? just look how scary they are!
Made her hair stand straight up when some-one lit off a Hemi
Spring Fling (and Fall Fling too) are all Mopar . Full swap meet of Dodge Plymouth and Chrysler parts.. just look at this ONE vendors stuff
Big and small blocks, by year, size and cost. Most impressively, they are all individually ready to fire off. Battery and fuel were already connected
