No. 35

Round and round the asphalt plaza at the Capitol went a glossy new Ford car. At the wheel, beaming at onlookers, sat plump, white-polled James Couzens of Michigan, wealthiest U.S. Senator. The car, No. 35 of the new "A" series, was a gift to Senator Couzen from his friend & onetime business associate, Henry Ford. James Couzens owned & operated No. 35 of Henry Ford's original "T" series.
