Don't sell Model A Fords short; you can get any part you need, the club support is very good, and if you want to learn on a 30's auto, that might be the way to go.
I agree. If you just want some car from that period, I'd recommend a Model A. I don't have personal experience with them, but I've heard they're pretty reliable and easy to work on. The best part is that they just made so many that there are tons of resources available. There are so many still on the road that you can buy ANY part for them, and not only that, but plenty of places sell NEW Model A parts. You read that right, NEW parts for a 90 year old car, made in the past couple decades. Supposedly people have recently built brand new Model A's from all new or NOS parts, but I can't find a link to any at the moment.
For example, there are literally 100 for sale on right now on eBay Motors alone, compared to 3 Packards for sale from the same year range (1927-33). So something to consider.
