Good to hear

We brought the Tudor for very good reasons. While we looked at a couple of Fordor's, the Tudor made more sense for us - easier to get in and out of the front, kids can't open the back doors and fall out, less wood to worry about .

Ultimately, both Dad and I want a pickup and a Phaeton, but it's not practical for us all! Personally, neither of us like the Coupes at all.

As has already been said, if we all liked the same things, the world would be a boring place (we'd all drive a Prius! ARGH! I'd rather kill myself )

When I was looking for my Model A, I had it narrowed down to a '31 coupe or pickup. The pickup won out mainly because it became available first and was within my price range. After having it for 3 years now, I still like it.

NOW, If I were to get a second Model A, right now it would be a toss up between a couple and one of the Fordors. But either way, it would still have to be a '31.

I suppose it all depends on whether you want them for looks or drive ability.

I have a station wagon, and I love to look at it, but its not comfortable to drive. Its even more difficult to get in and out of than my pickup. The seats are very close together, so there is no legroom for a 5'10" guy. But it was meant for short trips from the station to the hotel, not long trips.

My SW sedan, now that's comfortable. I prefer it for driving over the coupe I had once, the pickup, the wagon and the AA's.
