    Great car, great finish, and especially love the 60 it fits the engine compartment perfectly
    Oh and every other element
    Bad thing, it's not in my driveway, but I don't have a concrete driveway and it would get dirty on my gravel driveway

    I was luck enough to see this car in person. It's everything you think it is and more. It's a really well assembled car for the time.

    Damn that's cool.
     
  10. Very cool! Sounds and looks great. I'd also love to see an underbody shot. I'd love to see the rear set up as well as the column shift setup as I'm putting a column shift in my 29 phaeton. :)
     
  11. I love it and I'm not even a Phaeton kind of guy.

    That engine rumble melts my heart. Finish is perfect.

    I also like the '40 column shift, but couldn't help noticing the '52-'56 Ford swing pedals. Obviously a 'retrofit' later, to correct a 'space situation' down by the clutch linkage/shift rods in the close confines of a narrow '29.
    My tub's a '27, wanted to put a '40 column shift in behind my flathead...but the 'T leaves' NO room for pedals and column linkage! Hmmm...'T Leaves'. Maybe I should consult them. :p

    Normally, I'd agree. But THIS one gets a pass. Looks to be a well taken care of time capsule. I bet on a closer look, there's a ton of knowledge built into that "tub".

    That is a car in which I would be proud to drive the family over Vermont's dirt roads on a sunny Sunday. Might even stop at a creemee stand or three along the way.
     
  20. Damn, that's nice! My kind of hot rod. Thank's for sharing...

    proud to say Roger is my neighbor and a very good friend. he absolutely loves this car and has a special name for it. it was not anywhere close to running or driving when he got it, but as he is so very good a doing....well the video speaks for itself. a classic hot rod brought back from the ashes. I'd also like to add he has helped me create my own AV8 in ways I could have never accomplished without his help. congratulations brother for the recognition this car and your abilities deserve. next stop "Iron Invasion!!"

    That period of time, on into the early thirties was the golden age for a more refined version, if you will, of the bigger and taller touring cars of the previous year era where roads were rutted quite deep and travel meant dust and mud --- depending on the location you lived in and how well maintained the roads were. Pictures of cross country races in the teens are eye openers to the conditions. Then, America became more dependent on cars and trucks. Voters demand for better roads and the burgeoning automobile industry came together and presto fixo. People who drove went for Sunday drives and open cars were 'the' choice to not only see the world but be in it. And, of course, to be seen. This one has to be a driver, to me. You just tool along in a car like this and thumb your nose at the world.

    Of course I like it. Especially as a V8 60 is on my list too. I have the column shift with the 40 steering wheel waiting to go in too.

    A V8 60 & V12 Lincoln have amazing similarities. The latter is smooth running but from working on one, not something to send a postcard home about in terms of power, even from an 85 horse. Wonder what the cruising around cool would be like with one shoe horned in a phaeton? Once upon a time an old poet said things like that were high zoot. Now I have an itch I doubt I'll ever be able to scratch. Now, see what y'all done!
