What's your favorite year and why?

I don't have one but like the ones made in 1927 as they are a totally different car. A friend had one and even some of the bolt treads are different, it was so interesting seeing how the first ones were made, really like a prototype.
 
28/29/30/31 are my favorite year A's, but since I have three 30's and one 31 I guess I'll have to go with 30/31. I really like the look of the 28/29's though.:)
 
Some don't realize that As were "completely" restyled, for '30. With my '29 & my '30 Coupes, side by side, one looks "mid" size & one looks "full" size. "Almost" NO body parts will INTERCHANGE, ALTHOUGH I saw a '30 5 Window, with '29 FENDERS/RUNNING BOARDS/SPLASH SHIELDS.---"Did they fit on easily"?--"I don't know, it was that way when I bought it"---

I like the ’31 the best and it’s because of that wonderfully indented and painted upper radiator shell, I also prefer the look of the bottom of the cowl in ’30 and ’31, but my ’29 cabriolet with the Murry body has the smooth lower cowl. However, I like the looks of a ’28 or ’29 tudor over a ’30 or ’31. The smaller radiator shell seems to make the whole car look smaller as well. Hey guys, an A is an A and there is nothing that quite competes.
 
I could be EASILY swayed to a Tudor. Chief & Momma had one for a LOOOONG TIME. It was an ALL BLACK '29 with BLACWALL 16's. I liked the LOOONG back side windows, I'd tell Chief, "This is my window to the WORLD"!!--Of course, my Dog, Bulger wuz at the OTHER window!
He'd change to 21s in the WINTER, they did better on them danged MUDDY roads, I HATE MUD!

I have a 28 and a 30. I probably like the 31 radiator shell a little better, but I love both of my cars. Like your children. You love each one the best.
 
For me its the coupe pillar and 21'' wheels..when they couldn't build them fast enough.**** hit the fan by 1930,the stovebolt cut into them and forced the V8...'30 and '31 were transition,stop gap years..
 
The 1927 are unique . I didn't realize that until I acquire a February 1928 Tudor . Then went through the judging standards and was suprised at the similarly that my car has to the 1927s .When the car is shown many model A owners state they have never seen the early features.
 
I like the 27's and the 32's because I like to argue with people that think model A's weren't made in these years.
 
30 because its mine. also i like the stainless details and that the 30 has less paint on the top of the grill shell.
 
I always admired the 28 and 29 Special coupe. I enjoy the headroom in my 29. The 30 coupe I had had less headroom by around 2 inches.
P.S. I notice it because I'm 6 ft. 3in.

My Dad had several before his passing, but I'm partial to the '28's for the simplicity of the car, plus the red steering wheel. It is interesting to me to compare it to the later models.
