Talk:Ford Model A (1903–04)

Equivalent cost
I think the numerous "(equivalent to $700 today)" statements in the text are unnecessary and make this article much less readable. If no one disagrees, I'm going to delete them all except for the first one. Shieldforyoureyes (talk) 16:05, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Transmission
I changed the info to follow common practice today - even if Ford advertised the transmission as a three speed, nobody would accept that claim today, as they were counting both forward speeds AND the reverse ;-) Model T had the same general 2-speed design, the big improvement was the trans being enclosed into the engine oil bath for longer life on the T. Only one pioneer American car had a genuine three speed planetary tranmission, it was a rare Cadillac model around 1905-06, I think. Hepcat65 (talk) 13:53, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
