Time for a confession. With one exception I like the '32 body styles better than the Model A. I like a '32 roadster better than a Model A roadster. I like a '32 sedan better than a Model A sedan and so on throughout the list of body styles that were available both years. What is that one exception? I like the '30-'31 roadster pickups better than the '32 roadster pickups (although due to their novelty I would probably take one if it was forced on me). The Model A roadster pickups used the smooth flowing cowl section from a roadster/phaeton while the '32 roadster pickups had a unique commercial looking cowl that looked like it belonged on a jeep. I should note here that the reproduction '32 roadster pickup by Brookville uses the cowl section from a roadster.
