My Dad always had a fairly new model T Ford in the T times, even bought two new ones the same day.
A roadster without battery and starter and a ford or with battery and starter.
But after Chevy came out with the six cylinder engine he decided to try a Chevrolet so he bought a 1932 Chevrolet roadster.
I can’t remember riding in it,although I did many times, I do remember my mother opening the kitchen door and hollering at the goats to get off the roof though.
Around 1939 the folks traded it for a used ‘36 fordor at the local Ford dealer. I remember us going home with it.
That is the first time I remember riding in the back seat all by myself. we were stuck with the used Ford all during the war until January of 1947 when we got a new sedan coupe, or was it a coupe sedan? and he bought nothing but Fords and Mercurys ever after. Always new.
The Chevy was hard to start at -40F. The Fords and the 9N would always start. Even the flat six F5.
