Funny how poeple's preferences vary! Both my wife and dislike the Vicky. For that reason, it probably just as well I've only ever seen one or two over here. That is because no Fords arrived here in 1931 so the few that are about are far more recent (within the last 10 years) private imports.

That is interesting, the Vickey is my wife's favorite Model A. I don't care for any of the slant windshields, just look like the visor is missing!

I like the Vickie except for the lack of visor. to me it looks like something is missing.

A very nice looking Vickie for sure. Looks by the way the seat adjusts it's an early 31. The later ones had the adjustment built into the seat frame work and was on a slide. I have one of each. Happy motoring

The Vicky is also my least favorite body style, and I will admit it took me a while to accept my 31 slant Town Sedan with no visor. I guess the lack of wood helps make up for no outside visor. The outside visor adds to the Model A good looks, and the sound of the exhaust is what first sold me on having to own a Model A.


BTW, I rode in the back seat of a Vicky, and it's too tight for comfort.
