I have two A's and a '41 Fordor. The '41 has a factory two-speed rear end, and is a comfort to drive. It would be difficult to choose. Sort of like having to choose which child you would keep.

Looking at a '31 Roadster vs. a '36 Coupe five window.

Model A's look to be 'easier' to work on, parts look to be a lot better and cheaper to come by, more good repo parts out there vs. what they have for the flatties....Father-in-Law with a '30 Coupe reminded me today 'You can pretty well get home on a Model A with basic mechanical knowledge, the A won't let you down'.

Thanks for all the comments helps a lot!
