this is not completely a Model "A" topic but I suspect some of us have wondered about this....

does anyone who has had experiences with the '32 models, be they "B" or V-8, have a reaction as to how improved the new models were in things like riding, braking, etc.

Obviously the frame was vastly different but the new models still had transverse springs and mechanical brakes.

As an aside, it does appear that the major car companies back then were sincerely interested in improving their product for the benefit of the customer. Sure, barefaced competition was a part of it but compare the 1930s attitude with the industry of the '70s.
