Tastes change over time and especially as you get older. My favorite car as a teen was the deluxe roadster. Now, at 79, I like the Fordor town car. I think my car is a 170B.

I tried to make my post a poll, but the all of the body style numbers did not show. My favorites are the 45B Deluxe Coupe and the 190A Victoria Coupe.

Canadian, Sport Roadster. Built for a short time starting August 1929. Although still classed as a 40-A, the following features differ from the Standard Roadster;

> Folding windshield with Nickel plated brass stanchions.

> Dust hood (top boot).

> Driver's side mounted spare wheel and tire.

> Trunk rack.

> Full length rear bumper bars.

> Rumble seat.

> Special paint colors, Mount Vernon Green, Nankeen Brown and Henna Red. Mouldings and Rear Deck were Black, with a double stripe of Cameo Cream.

Hello, can I pick two? 40 B Deluxe Roadster, have a 31 , and 1931 slant windshield sedan. If I should get another Model A that’s what it would be.

Everyone loves the sportiness of a roadster, but as for touring, there's no beating a Fordor.

Ageed, I love the Sport Roadster to look at as I mentioned above. My car of choice to actually drive is my 1930, 165-C Standard Sedan.
