I absolutely agree. My Australian RHD Phaeton is unique and I love it for that reason. Most people have never seen a RHD Model A, or for that matter, any RHD car, so it definitely gets attention everywhere I go. Plus, there's a romance about what it has been through and seen over its 95 years of life that excites me as a historian.
