What is this tub, anybody know?[/QUOTE]
I know what it is. It's Not Traditional. Let's remember that we're on the HAMB and not Street Rodder Network (or whatever it's called now).

(I think it's a Buick, by the way.)

 

Link to a bunch of 32 tubs here on the HAMB

That's a Ute, not a touring/tub/phaeton, and is currently for sale in the classifieds...

1951 Jaguar tub

 

My current Ray Vega style tub, thanks to Rik Hoving for the photo.

 

No, they are a mix of original tubs and customs with the roofs cut off. most of the 4 Drs are original tubs. They are also called Convertible Sedans or Phaetons.

 

Can anyone enlighten me on the choice (if it was a choice) between having the doors (esp. rears in 4-door phaetons) being suicide vs "traditional"? I think I'm seeing most '33 and newer cars with the rear doors hinged at the front of the door, and '32s and older w/suicide rear doors, but then some of the As seem to be traditional rear doors?

Was it a choice when the car was ordered, or a result of the sub-model (Deluxe, Standard, etc.), or something else?

It's been great seeing all the different tubs out there - thanks to all the various photographers and posters!
