If you have original 32 Fords in the same condition, how do they rate in value? 1-5 3 WINDOW COUPE ROADSTER CABRIOLET 5 WINDOW COUPE TUDOR SEDAN PHAETON
Favorite, almost the favorite and still love it. But dollar wise with fully equal cars I am sure that that is the way one would do it.
Phaeton Roadster 5 Window 3 Window I prefer to order them in availability. I know for a long time the 3 window was king, but I think over time and overexposure from plastic bodies and now repo steel, its getting saturated. I would love to have a phaeton body.
since you added to your original post i'll play along and add two myself phaeton 3-window roadster 5-window cabriolet sport coupe tudor fordor
I think you are prety close with that list. BUT, as with everything it is totally subjective and debatable. B.
B 400 Sedan Delivery Victoria 3 window Roadster Cabriolet Phaeton 5 window Sport Coupe 2 dr sedan 4 dr sedan IMO!
ok I'll play: real B400 real sedan delivery woodie wagon 3 window phaeton roadster cabriolet victoria roadster pickup 5 window coupe sport coupe tudor sedan 4 door sedan pickup truck panel truck big truck Its not really value because that is based upon the condition and quality of piece but on desirability and difficulty to obtain. A mint pickup would be worth more than a rust bucket 5w.
For original restored cars I think **** hit the nail on the head. For desirable street rods I think Kry's list is closer. Since I have a 3W, Tudor & a Cabriolet, ( one of them even runs) I would rate the B400, sedan delivery, roadster pickup and fordor next on my wish list & the other 9 will have to wait.
Well, I have a Roadster ( 30 plus years ) and a 3W ( about 5 years ) ... 1 ) I think B400's are ugly ( at least, the least attractive 32 out there ) 2 ) there were only a little over 400 real sedan deliveries ( how many still exist ) 3 ) The woodies are the second least attractive 32 made ( IMHO ) 4 ) Phaetons are neat but really just a 4 door roadster 5 ) Never did like the Cabriolet ( yes ... I had one ) 6 ) I could really get into owning a Victoria 7 ) Of what's left ... I would pick a Tudor sedan ... That's how I rate how desirable they are ( to me ) So far as actual VALUE ( cost to purchase ) 1 ) The B400 ... just because it is RARE 2 ) The 3W coupe ... Not as Rare ... but a LOT folks want one 3 ) Roadster ( everyone should own at least one roadster in their life ) 4 ) 5W coupe 5 ) Victoria ... Rare ( 8,000 + made ) but not as desired as what #1 to #4 are. 6 ) Tudor sedan ... LOTS were made but still pretty cool. The rest are just ALSO rans ... because they are DEUCES The above is just my opinion ...
And I always thought RPU had a roadster cowl. Who woulda thunk? You learn something new every day here.
