Rare Phaeton! Runs and Drives! for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.05) based on 192 votes

     Offered here is a 1929 Model A Phaeton Standard.   Of about 4 MILLION Model As. they only made about 117. 00 Phaetons total.   A “Phaeton” is a 4 door convertible with a metal back to the front seat.   It's much like a touring car. but sounds better. and “touring car” is SO 1922!     The Deluxe Phaeton (basically dual side mounts) was not available in 1929; they made about 49. 00 Standard Phaetons that year.   Phaetons are VERY hard to find; my research has seen them sold recently from 22k to 45K for an AACA Senior car.    I'm selling this for a friend.

 

               This Phaeton is tan with black striping.   It has a tan canvas top with black fenders. The interior is black leatherette. It is. generally. an older restoration. so there are flaws.    This would be a great parade car (seats 4) or a good Sunday driver!

 

The bad:

There is a hole in the driver's seat about the size of a quarter. and a small tear in the rear passenger side upholstery by the door. The headlights have been converted to sealed beam. and one of them is out. One rear tire has a flaw in it at the edge of the whitewall. and the other rear has bulges at the rim. but heck. they are holding air just fine. have plenty of tread.  and you get 4 more tires with the car.   Some of the door handles are loose. but they all work.  The horn does not work.  

 

The good: It has the usual flathead 4 with an upgraded distributor and Tillotson carb.   The car starts right up. runs. drives. and shifts fine in all gears.   The paint is in pretty good shape. as is the interior.   It's still the 6 volt positive ground system and the battery is good.   It has a single electric wiper which works. The parking lights work. It has dual mirrors. The car comes with an extra set of 4 whitewall tires. an extra set of points. and a brand new Model A Mechanics' manual.   The paint is in pretty good shape. and has plenty of shine to it. The top is in great shape. It has the Ford marked step plates on each running board.

 

 

Term of sale:  Title will be signed over when paid in full.   Car is sold as is. with no warranty.   Located near Danville. Va.   The closest airports are Greensboro and Raleigh Durham.   Buyer must arrange shipping.
