The Ford Barn

I have a 31 coupe that has original type shocks which appear to be in fair condition. Like all I have ever had, they leaked from day one, but did seem to improve the ride. I tried some after market tube shocks and the gave a bad ride on the coupe and also on my roadster so I went back to the original type. It gives such a bumpy ride that I'm thinking or getting into larger car and forget the Model A's as my bride complains from mile one to the end of every tour that the jouncing along is killing her back and joints. I hate to admit it, but I am getting close to agreeing with her. What is the best riding A? Maybe I can try with some of the sedans? Any suggestions? A couple of thousand bucks in shocks is not what I'm hoping for.
