  3. Two recognized pronunciations:
    "FAY-EH-TON" or "FAY-TON" Depends on what part of the country you are from among other things:D
    Or you could just say,"four door convertible without roll up windows"

    My dad has owned a 31' Ford Phaeton my entire life. Its what I came home from the Hospital in. Ive always heard it pronounced. Lets see If I can do this. "FAY-ETT-INN" Hope that makes sense and helps ya out.

    If it's a fake four door convertible it's a phantom phaeton.
