PICS - 1:24 - My collection Part 12
Here is a trio of '31s. Time sure makes a difference in the details of a model. Compare the wheels of the Roadster with the other two.....

A MAJOR improvement, Jerry, and a detail that absolutely makes the model. One of my pet peeves,.....
and I know I'm far from alone on this score, is the replication of wire wheels on our little cars. While I know that they're always a compromise between accurate appearance and strength, the rims on the wagon and phaeton show how well this can be done. I dig the side curtains on the woodie, too. Thanx again for another installment.

That 1931 Ford Model A Phaeton is gorgeous!
I gotta get me one of those. Great shots BTW.

Who are the manufacturers of these models? I really like the Phaeton.

I haven't lost 1 yet, knock on wood.......

They are all DM.......
The Roadster was issued in 08/94 and retired in 12/02...
The Phaeton is an LE issued 01/06 and retired 12/06...
The Woody was issued 05/05 and is still current...
And Richard is correct, the Phaeton is the best Model A ever issued...
P.S. - The Woody ain't no sloush either....

Thanks everyone for looking and commenting..... So far,......
My photo album is fantastic, all printed on 8x10 matte photo paper. Looks pretty darn good, if I do say so myself. Maybe I'll take the album over to Bill J.s house for a testimonial..... LOL.

One more reason I love the Phaeton..........
it looks perfect in a diorama as a police car of the era. I hope we will see a 32 as a four door sedan with all basics....nothing else.

Jerry....I'd love to see your album. I'l bet we live not more than 3 miles apart. I'm near
Rock Valley College.

Have to agree with those who called the Phaeton
Model A the best one yet. It is,in fact, my very favorite Ford from all eras.
