Pick Your Phaeton

[mgtstumpy]

My '35 Chevy. Nice to drive however I'm also building a closed car now.

Here's a pretty famous one....

I blame Revell or Monogram. You know the little red with black fendered 1/24th scale model A Phaeton? I had several of that kit as a kid.
A few weeks back, a friend and i drove a 13 hour round trip to pick this up.



Its going to take some work to make it nice, but its going to share my garage with my 30 truck for our winter.

I liked this one I saw at the Beach Hop in NZ last weekend.

very cool thread, thanks Ryan. A tub was really the only option for our family,
4 kids and the better half, it's the only way i can look cool driving a 1930's
people mover.

For my fav tub, well Paul Gommi's is nice but a little over cooked, Chris's friends 32 tub from the Inland Emperor's, now that cut's it.

Man this computer stuff is frustrating for an old fart like me! Somehow I got a link instead of the picture, but it might be the best I can do for now.

This is my fresh phaeton. We debuted it at Detroit Autorama, even though it was built as a driver. I was blown away when Street Rodder magazine picked it for a Top 100 for 2012!

Paul Gommi's deuce is pretty badass.





Tommy the Greek's '36.

These Woodlite headlamps from the 1930's would look good on both of the above cars......

I have a client that keeps eyeballing my "fence of "T" stuff" (I have both complete '23 touring and roadster pelts I have collected over the years hanging from one of my fences) to clone this car... He was a buddy of Grabowski's and Kay Trapp who later bought the car back in the early sixties. Lots of cool snapshot kinda picture that I swear I'll borrow and copy some day. Can't wait to do this one!

Here is my dad's '36 Phaeton that he bought July 4, 1955 and is still in the family today. Currently being restored slowly but surely...did a bit of metalwork last summer and hope to get back to it soon. Car will be just like it was in 1955, but with a stock '46 Ford flathead with Edelbrock heads. Originally, this car had a 301 c.i. flathead with 10.5:1 compression and was hot rodded by a guy in the Air Force in 1952. My dad is the third owner, and the car was originally purchased by a nurse in New York City. My dad shipped it to California in the early '70s. The rolls and pleats that were done on the rear seat in 1956 are still in great shape and we plan to match the front seat to them (it was done in '52, but has fallen apart)

Saw this car in Detroit. Our booth was just a few feet away (www.WizardsProducts.com) and I kept going over to your car all weekend to check it out. One of my favorites from the show.

Here's a pic I took of the car in Detroit:
