Some simple things you can do to make a Model "A" ride nicer:
> 16" or 17" or 18" Ford wheels with a shortened Pitman arm;
> 27 to 30 psig tire pressure;
> Spring covers loaded with SAE 140 gear oil or STP;
> Not so simple, but modern telescoping shocks make a difference.

Nice to see you this past weekend, Bob. Yes, the coupe is more comfortable. I should have not sold the nice 29 I had a few years ago. I saw the car at the new england meet, but the guy would not sell it back to me.
I agree with the newer wheels and bigger tires, and I have spring covers soaked in 250 weight oil, and new Bill Stipe shocks.
I just need a nice coupe.
