My '30 Cabriolet Convertible with some paint on it!

Dream car? Deluxe Phaeton in the brown like the fella from Amsterdam (?)

The 3 window coupe with suicide doors and slant windshield would have been sweet.

roadster, you make a good point. Plenty of room for tall and "full figured guys."

I have owned an early 1931 Briggs Bodied Town Sedan, a 1930 Coupe, a 1929 Sport Coupe, and my current 1929 Phaeton. I think that my favorite is the 1929 Phaeton. I have no plans to ever sell this one.

Down to only 3 now, but the 29 tudor has always been my favorite. I just got back from a ride in it, and was reminded of when I brought my new born boys home from the hospital in it, over 30 years ago.

'30 black cabriolet with black 17" wheels (yes, it really does look good with 17" wheels), and a tan top, with red pin stripe. Possibly the best looking car i have ever seen.

I love the little 28 roadster pickup I now have,but my first choice if I could ever get one would be a 31 cabriolet or a 31 2dr phaeton.
