Vince,
I do not have a Buisness Coupe but my brother has a 1928 Special Coupe.Generally the Coupes, except for the Victoria, are all lumped together.I believe that the only difference is the oval windows and the fact that more of your top is covered in fabric.Most of your parts would be the same as the other coupes.
As for how rare it is. Aprox 18% of all Model As made were coupes. 8% of the coupes were Buisness Coupes.Therefore1.5% of Model As were Buisness Coupes. For 1929 23% of the Model As were Coupes and 15% of the Coupes were Buisness Coupes. Thus in 1929 3.5% of the Model As were buisness Coupes.
Total Model As aprox.5 million
Total Coupes aprox 930,000
Total Buisness Coupes aprox 75,000
1929 Model As aprox 1.1 million
1929 Coupes aprox. 260,000
1929 Buisness Coupes aprox. 38,000
Approximate production numbers for some of the 'rarer' Model As
Town Car1000
A-400 Convertable Sedan 5000
Taxi-Cab 5000
Deluxe Phaeton 7000
Station Wagon 12000
Cabriolet 60000(had to get that one in)
