Model A models for tall drivers?

Technique of how to get in and out is important too. It will never be the same as climbing in and out of your new F-150 pickup.
 
I'm 6.0 shrunk a bit from 6'2 due to age, etc. Big feet also. I had a 31 Victoria that had adjustable seat anchors, but even with the seats as far back as possible, it was uncomfortable to get in and out of. Also, fabricating seat extensions will extend into the rear seat foot pans which I was reluctant to modify.
I sold the Vicky and later bought a 30 Tudor that can easily have the seats extended 4 inches or more. Yes the Vicky has wide doors, but it was the seats that were the problem.
I later bought a Phaeton and with much welding and adjustments, extended the front seats more than 4 inches. But that's another story.
George.
 
I'm only 5'-10" now (after shrinking a few inches from age) but I have size 14 feet. My torso is proportionate for someone 6'-5" but I have short legs.

Agree- the 31 slant window fordors have room, and the 31 cabriolets have room. However, so far NOTHING has the kind of room that a 31 sport coupe does! I feel like I have to kinda stretch out in the sport coupe. It even has enough headroom to put arms up when you yawn.

Now, admittedly, I have to drive it barefoot because the pedals still have the standard Model A spacing and distance from the floor. But so what? Minor price to pay for having so much space inside the car. I'm barefoot like 90% of the time anyway (I have autism).
