I can see the forum discussions back in 1927........
"I don't like the new model A, it's been wimp-er-ized, and doesn't look like it could spook a horse carraige if it t-boned it! Ford screwed up this time, I'm keepin my Model T. Now THAT'S an intimidating design, looks mean and tall and has more angles and doesn't have all those girly curves in the fenders. The Model A looks PLAIN to me, it needs some brass!!!! Why didn't Ford give it a brass radiator, and some side-mount spare tires??? It reminds me of a Studebaker, with a Willy's tail....
