Trading up, or sideways?

We have had our '21 Touring since late 2016. While we have owned it we bought, and later sold a '28 A Sport Coupe. We have enjoyed the T, mostly riding to local cruise-ins, parades, and ice cream runs. The Touring runs and drives well, needing the new top we have installed to be pretty much complete.
The non-demountable wheels could use a rebuild but the tires, while being several years old are barely worn, with less than 100 miles accumulated. We're now thinking that we would like a different car, maybe even another Model A. I am thinking about trying to find a trade for something of equal value. I have even looked at a couple of 20s Chevys for sale locally, but they sold quickly and were cash only, no trades.
I believe our T is worth $9000-9500 considering the condition and all the restoration that has been done. I'm trying to figure out what else would be available for about the same money. Although probably not available without adding a little cash, not out of the question, we would love a '28-29 A pickup. We would consider a closed car, coupe or even a sedan. This is not an ad, just telling about our situation. Thanks.
