Default Correct jack for '31 slant window cabriolet?

I've been picking up Model A/other old jacks at swap meets/etc but have yet to run across any of the C-series jacks. C1, C2 and C3 jacks are noted as continuing through end of production. Assume that means any of them would be correct or is one more correct than the other for a late '31 cabriolet?

The -C1 and -C2 jacks were both introduced in July 1930 and used through the end of 1931 production. The -C3 jack was introduced in March 1931 and used through the end of 1931 production.


The -C1 seems to be the most plentiful of the three, and the lowest priced. The -C3 is most scarce of the three, and usually very high priced if you can even find one.


I do not currently have any style of Model A jack available.

Anyone got pictures of the C1, C2 and C3 jacks that they could share?
TIA

I wasn't really trying to find one with this post - just wondering if any one of the three different C-series jacks would be specifically correct for my late '31 cabriolet? Guessing not though since all three were in production and luck of the draw which one ended up on the line on a given day?
