Have always preferred Standard cars to Deluxe and rear mounted spares to side mounts.
I'll be the first to admit I'm frequently in a minority position.
For a 50s or 60s car I would prefer 6-cylinder three on the tree instead of V8 4-speed.......

update: In the interest of full disclosure, our best and favorite Model A was a 31 S/W Town Sedan (Deluxe) with dual sidemounts. Loved it in spite of it being a deluxe, not because of it......
