OUTNUMBERED IN Model A's

Just got my first one around 4 months ago...having a blast working on it and driving it every weekend. My avatar was taken at a friend's wedding last weekend - drove 20 miles along the Old Hwy 101 up the coast to Carlsbad, CA to get there - love getting the waves, thumbs-ups, and smiles along the way...
 
I read some time ago in one of the National "A" publications that the average (at the time) club member had three A's. Since then, I have convinced my wife that she doesn't want me to be average, so I now have six. Gar Williams
 
I had three but sold one so now down to two. Gotta have at least two in case one breaks down! It would be terrible not to have a driving Model A.
 
A's are like chips top me - just can't stop at one. I've owned 6 and presently own 4 (30 townsedan Murry, 30 Briggs fordor, 30 tudor standard sedan, and a 30 deluxe coupe in progress). Like many I am limited by time, money and space. Lucky for me the wife's only concern is that I don't drive them enough.
 
I see you got very few responses from people with just one,as you were looking for.Most of the ones that posted they only have one,seem to be on the lookout for another.I have three on the road and one more in a basket.Each one I have has something the others don't.I only have one closed car,a Tudor,so I like that one for cold weather or carrying people.I have an open cab pickup,I can carry things,that one is zippy,nice to drive.I have a roadster,I like it as it is a tight low mile car.I like to fold the windshield down flat and race it around on hot nights.But,I have motorcycles that I do that with more often.They're the same as A's.I think I have six motorcycles right now.Plus some old scooters and mini bikes I had as a kid.
 
I have one, two, or three, depending how/what you count.

A coupe, cabriolet and closed cab PU, all 1929s.

The coupe is running, but not fully together, and is built with many reproduction parts and a non-year matching, 1930 modified motor.

The closed cab is a running hot rod, but almost no original Model A parts except for the two doors and A pillars. The after-market industry for Model A parts is amazing!

Together, you can count these first two as being just one Model A, if you wish.

The cabriolet is not running, but is mostly original sheet metal (except floor pans) and has original frame and motor. It is the ONE.
 
I onmly have one. I've recently bought a 68B cabriolet that needs a whole lot of work. My first...and I expect it to keep me busy for several years before I consider getting another. I am having fun...just need more time and money. I also have my dad's old 74' F100 supercab that he bought new. That keeps me busy too. You can still find good parts in junk yards for that one. I am hoping my kiddos have fun with me on these projects too.
 
I have two 31 sports coupe and 30 coupe but where you guys are lucky it costs 700 dollars each a year for rego in Australia
 
I have 2, gotta have a spare when you are working on the other one. Made the 2 month long rebuild of the 31 slant windows rear end a lot more tolerable having my AR sport coupe to drive.
 
I have 3 Model A's, and several other toys. My wife counted the garage doors the other day........15 doors and I could use one more garage for the projects. New a dull moment when you want to take an old car out to play.
