Dean,
There were around 5,000,000 Model As made.About 1,400,000 of them (28%) were Tudor sedans. There were about 700,000 (14%) four door sedans including town sedans.The slant windhield four door was only made in 1931 (95,000 made) so that is why it is harder to find parts.All Model As are collectors items.As far as other models in 1931 there were 7 taxicabs, 5072 convertible sedans, 14,000 phaetons 14,000 cabriolets, 64,000 roadsters .....It's value is in the eye of the buyer. In general open cars are worth more that closed cars. A phaeton will always sell for more than a similar Tudor.A slant window 4 door is worth about the same as a straight windshield 4 door (unless you find someone who wants a slant windshield).The condition of the car is more important in determining the price. Restored Model As sell for $10,000 to $30,000 depending on how well they are restored and body style.4 door sedans are not on the top of the list, it would be hard to get more than $20,000 for a 4 door unless it was exceptional in some way.
