Decisions... Decisions...5 different Convertibles in 36?
 

6 Attachment(s)
I just made my choice of 36 vert today and it really sucked doing so. having many different brand cars, I figured there was just going to be 2 types of fords, 2 door and 4 door.. To my surprise I saw 5 styles which made it a difficult choice. I love the look of the 2 and 4 door roadsters with the canvas windows on them but I have had that style and some Euro/British roadsters and didn't like dealing with them. So, that narrowed it down to three. The 2 door with the rumble seat looks great and cosmetically my favorite looking one. But, I have a family and didn't want to put the kids in the rumble because of safety issues and/or would have to drop the top every time we had 3 or more people. . The 4 door looked like my 36 sedan I just sold and seems the most practical and the back seat room is incredible. Weirdly enough, I went with the Club coupe convertible. The top looks a bit odd up but I live in Southern CA so it will be down most of the time. All of the kids can go out with us and be within arms leant. (that brings me back...lol). I keep finding myself looking at the coupe and second guessing myself. The funny thing was that the guy selling the 2 seat coupe vert was the one that talked me into the club. He said he wishes he would of picked up a club to enjoy it with more people.

Just for kicks, if you wanted one, what way would you lean?

You forgot the one I've always wanted - a 36 roadster . . . someday . . . someday . . .

You forgot to mention more variants. Ford made the Convertible Sedans and Phaetons in two different styles in 1936. There were earlier production small trunk cars (I have heard them called slant back) and later production big trunk cars (I have heard them called hump back).
List of USA production 1936 open cars available from Ford (common names not necessarily what Ford called them):
Roadster
Convertible Coupe
Club Convertible
Convertible Sedan w/small trunk
Convertible Sedan w/big trunk
Phaeton w/small trunk
Phaeton w/big trunk


I'd take a small trunk convertible sedan if I had to choose one.
