    Obviously, this is all in fun! I don't dislike open cars and Model T doesn't dislike closed cars. I can't even believe I have to say this. Nobody here is "bashing" anything! We're just two lovebirds having fun with our cars.

    Whenever someone asks me which of our Model A’s is my favorite, I tell them the truth…. It’s which ever one I’m currently driving! Every body style has its own “feel” and that’s just one of the great things about Ford’s designs. 👍

      ⁠AMEN! Dad purchased a ‘31 Cabriolet in the summer of 1964, Lancaster, PA. We just left NY visiting the World’s Fair and riding in a ‘64 Mustang! Our family is the 3rd owner and it was the daily driver for my High School years. I have been trying to review its needs so I can drive it again. However, trying to find detailed information on Cabriolets is tough. Yes the are basically the same, just there are some nuances/quirks with them. Miss driving the “Canary”.

      My dad's first car was a 1930 roadster. After he was in an accident, he rebuilt it as a cabriolet. He later sold it and regretted it when he learned the new owner chopped and channelled it into a hot rod. He lived in Victoria, BC, Canada at the time. The car would have probably been originally assembled in Winnipeg, where a coupe would have been more practical.

    Paul, Wanted to let you know I found the cause of my obnoxious rattle issue -! I had recently removed the exhaust manifold. I was having an exhaust leak and determined the manifold wasn’t flat on its mating service. I milled a few thousands off the manifold and its the surface trued. What I didn’t think of were the gland metal rings. Possibly in reattaching two rings fell into the muffler -but that’s not like me. Another is the depth the rings were made to fit the head & manifold was shortened in my milling process and when I torqued the manifold they may have popped out and fell into the muffler.
    Either way another Model A mystery solved, my guess is the latter. .

    Got a 1931 deluxe roadster that was my grandfather's first car which I love driving. Hotter the day the more likely I am to take it to work over the modern daily drivers. Leave the top up in the parking lot to keep it cool, throw the top down and sometimes the windshield as well for a one heck of a fun drive. In the end, open or closed, it is still a Model A and one of the best vehicles made.

    Would have to agree with Model T on this one Paul. I would like the open car better. Especially that you have the option to have it open or close it. Would be nice to have it open on a good summer day, but nice to have it close on a cold Wisconsin winter. Seems like you have the best of both worlds on this one. Both are nice cars, but the open concept gets my vote. Hope you guys are doing well. Have a blessed Sunday and God bless! And yes, food is getting WAY too expensive. Even Taco Bell and McDonalds :(

    Great video guys, I love Tina's youthful exuberance, I can see why you married her. I really feel for you with the inflation thing. It's kinda like the return of Jesus, Great for some but not so much for others. $150.00 per hour to steam vacume a canvas top, I'm sure he's not complaining. But if you have'nt had a pay raise in a long while that's a problem! I try to make the current economical climate work for me if possible. I'm sure you have many skills plus a really nice shop not to mention a supportive wife. Your worlds lookin pretty good to me.

      We met when we were 12. Mentally, we still are. 400% inflation is killing us financially. Our income is the same but costs are 4X what they were 5 years ago. We cut back to the point we don't even go anywhere anymore.
