I’ve driven a ‘31 Model A a few times. It’s an involved driving experience for sure. The gearbox has no synchromesh so you are double de-clutching. Steering wanders as it’s a steering box with ancient bias tires so it follows the road. You have to retard the ignition to start and advance as you gather speed. My Dad had a coupe and it was always hot inside - and noisy. The Phaeton was more pleasant. We drove hundreds of miles in them on Model A club runs and they are fun if you like a challenging driving experience. When my Dad passed I was left the Coupe and my brother took the Phaeton. Eventually I sold the coupe so that should tell you a thing or two.
