Ideally i'd prefer a 2 door car convertible that seats 4. Would that be a phaeton? or sedan convertible? Did such a car exist in 2 door configuration?

I'm hoping that the 32-40 era car will be a bit more suited for todays roads. the Roadster "A" was fun but took its toll on me after about 20 miles.
Here's a site that may help you get to know the various open cars. www.memorylaneclassiccars.com. There is a '46 Ford convert., a 48 Merc. convert, a 39 Merc. convert, a 39 ford convertible sedan, a 37 Ford convertible sedan, a 36 phaeton and a 36 roadster. Lots of photos to help you get educated on these body styles.
Also go to ; cars-on-line.com. Lots more to look at and you can choose the various years of Fords. I think if you want an open car get one with roll up windows. I would also not recommend one with a rumble seat. Getting caught in the rain with no roof is not fun for the passengers.
