How many Model A's is the perfect number?

While owning and driving TWO Ford Model A's is the PERFECT number, a great many of us prefer to have an ''imperfect" number !

But two is all I can handle; so for me that is the perfect number.

That's how I feel too.
An open car for it's coolness, and a closed car for it's practicality.
 
I always have an open car ('30 A Phaeton) and a closed car ('48 Packard) to drive and I like to have a project (currently a '12 Model T). Usually I sell the project when completed and then search for another project. All of this keeps me very busy with my hobby.

I am like Tom, and for the same reasons. However I like/took the idea two steps further.
While I chose to have one open car (my 1928 Phaeton) and one closed car (my '31 Dlx Coupe), I also like having as much contrast as possible between the two examples of a Ford Model A.
Hence, my first model year of the Model A, (1928) and the last year of the Model A (1931) - two distinctly different body stylings. Besides the contrast of 'open' verses 'closed' car and the styling differences of '28 vs '31, I also included a two seater (Phaeton) and a single seater (Coupe).
While I could only comfortably maintain two Model A's, I wanted to have as much diversity as possible to show the wide breadth of the body/style options available for the Ford Model A.

I have to admit that my '69 Shelby GT350 is a good stable mate for my A's.:D

Same here I don't have a Shelby but do have a Black Plate Calif. '69 Mach 1 that is all re-done, runs like a champ. 351 M-Code 4spd. close ratio Top Loader and Limited Slip rear end (Posi is a GM term). Like somebody said 'have one for each kinda mood you are in that day' get a Flattie for Bonnie and Clyde use keep the Model A too and round it off with a '60's Ford Fairlane-Galaxie-Mustang you will never be bored!

Two Model A's mean, twice the fun!!

Remember, do whatever makes YOU happy don't try to appease others. Have fun with the cars NOW after you are dead and gone who cares what happens to them, right? A Lymphoma cancer took me to the brink almost two years ago, and that slap in the face was all it took to get me to re-think a lot of things about life. This included.

Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow enjoy a hobby today.
 
" Top Loader and Limited Slip rear end (Posi is a GM term)."

Hmm, now what did Studebaker call it?
And were they the first to offer it?
