Default Your favorite Model A/AA body style?

If you had to choose but one...just one (1)...Model A/AA Ford body style, which body style then is your favorite?

Mine is the 1929 Business Coupe with the oval windows.

It's a tough choice, but I would go for the 30-31 Standard Phaeton in Chicle and Copra. Black wheels and tires, black top. Side mounts are nice; I would mount the spare on the back. I do have a 31 Standard Phaeton, but it's Elkpoint and Kewanee / Apple wheels with white sidewalls and dual sidemounts. Trunk on the back and a tan top. It's the way I bought it - if I ever redo it, I know how I want it. Do I get a second choice? That would be a 30-31 Coupe. Skip, that's a mighty fine looking Tudor you've got!

For all-around fun, I'd go for a 30-31 open cab pickup.

From a practical point of view, my choice would be a Tudor of any year or a slant windshield sedan, for closed-car multi-seat comfort without the issues that go with wood bodies.

I guess a Town Car Delivery, is asking for too much, so one of there Special Deliveries would do. Swiped the photo off the web.

Too hard to choose. I like the roadster pickups, the A400 and the delivery trucks.

I sure seems that people like the model A they already own as their favorite body style. Imagine that!

Steve,
Since I own a '30 Deluxe Coupe, it's my favorite. When I was looking to buy a Model A, the coupe was my first choice. Of course, since it has a rumble seat, that sealed the deal. I have wonderful memories of my dad's Model A that he owned during WWII. I loved riding in that rumble seat.
That said, I could also lust for a roadster or roadster pickup.

Town Car Delivery, but being realistic.... 31 Coupe has satisfied me for 37 years.

'29 phaeton. Worst to own would be a 180A (2 door phaeton).

28-29 Roadster pickup and Phaeton. I always wanted one or the other when looking thru the books as a kid. Now I have both. I can't decide which I like best, but the pickup will probably have to go since the Phaeton holds the whole family...time will tell.
