This is also one of my favorite all time rods. Always wanted to build a copy of this.

 

In responce to Lynn`s So Cal plating inspired 36 Ford. I to was inspired by the So Cal Duvall Phaeton, when I built this 1937 Ford in 1994, was in American Rodder June 1995. The car is still on the road. Just finished the sequel to it a 1937 Ford 2 door Phaeton ( Hi-boy )

I wish that I had your secret for unearthing model40's !!!! Congrats!

 

I just happened to watch a classic in class today.. It was Chinatown featuring Jack Nicholson. He drove a pretty sleek '36 Ford Phaeton. Of course, I was the only one in class to cringe when the farmer shot his radiator and it started spewing water, then the tire which popped and made him drive straight into a tree and smash up that gorgeous grille.

 

The Chinatown Pheaton was a 1935. Beautiful car.

 

...And without stomping on ya too hard, it's also a convertible sedan...

 

Doh! The corrector is corrected.

 

It should have been a '36 phaeton with a DuVall windshield. Jake Gittes was too classy for a mere convertible sedan.

 

Drats. Haha. That's what I get for not paying attention..

Nothing says class like stitches in your left nostril.

I think that's what made it all the more humiliating.

"Dammit, those were Florsheims!"

This is still one of my favorites. I'd love to build it full scale. I've built a copy in black with a tan top that graces the cabinet over my toilet so I can look at it when nature calls.

 

Stude...
I have both those boxes in my wall unit in my ManCave...in addition to a few dozen others.

 

Now that's one tub I'd like to take a ride in.

 

...

 

Lookin' at all these beauties makes me wish my Dad hadn't sold the '36...

 

Didn't expect to see the tub I bought from Mel (DirtiestDevil) in here, but it is definitely a righteous old phaeton. Personality plus. It went to Indiana. Hope it turns up again some time.

I'm shooting for the same Pre-WW2 look for mine...

 

That's my 32 phaeton , the grill is 32 desoto, it took me 14 years to talk my buddy out of the grill, the body i got from Fat Jack Robinson, it sat in his barn for many years, I am going try to get the upholstery done this year.
