Thanks for posting - it's interesting to see the relative price differences between the different models.
I also find it amusing that their phone number is listed, "37".
I guess not too many people had telephones back then?
 
Different nomenclature I suppose....always known as sport coupe to me too!
If roll up windows (which that has) ain’t no roadster these days...
But a dealer calling it that carries some/great weight..

Looked back at ad...it lists a sport coupe.
So I beg the question “what is the third roadster”?
 
Prescott,AZ had a population of around 5,500 in 1930, so the phone numbers do seem a little weird.... But in the newspaper I see business numbers are up to three numbers (999), and residential numbers as 999-A, so that opens it up a little.
 
I love it!!!

"If you are the owner of a Model A Ford and don't realise what a wonderful car you are driving, get in some other make and take it out over the rough roads over hills and across the dips at 50 and 60 - then note the difference"!!

I have posed this question before, I struggle to want to push my car to 50 or 60 now on a motorway, and Ford are suggesting you can do it all day on rough roads and over dips!!

Yeah - Nah....
