    I am wondering which of these cars has more room in them. I have sat in a 27 touring and fit but it was tight. I was wondering if the 28/29 had more room. Thanks

    An A has more room than a T.
     
  3. An A is probably 20% more room than a T. Even then, most modern folks need to slide the front seat back I did both in my T and a customers A tub

    I had a phaeton for a while.
    I’m about 180, 5-11”and fit just fine.
    The front seat is not very roomy.
    ***uming it’s going to be modified, you can make seats that help with that.
    You learn how to enter and exit the car in a specific way and once you do, no problem.

    I have a soft spot for phaetons. I’d love to have a stock one with fenders.

    Working on moving the seat back in my 31 so my 6’4”bigness fits.
    Probably using the p***enger door to get in and out.

    Thanks for the replies. I need the extra room so that will narrow down my choice. Will definitely want to move the seat back.
