I seem to remember that naming convention lasted into the '50s

Being late as usual, I noted a couple of non-standard items on this
beauty. First is the 'Rising Quail' radiator cap, a very popular
accessory, because the wonderful Model A had such fabulous initial
acceleration from a stop. There is really no problem keeping up with
modern traffic in a Model A, up to around sixty mph. Hence the hunters
and farmers/ranchers among us will appreciate the comparison to a quail
that has been flushed.
The second is the Klaxon horn, which was not OE, I don't think. But
they sure are fun to sound! Great photo of a really fun car!
