Default Re: 1929 2 door phaeton?

Randy -
From what I can see if the photo, your father did a good job making the conversion. The Waterloo of most such attempts is the windshield area. Most guys just leave the closed car windshield in place, which looks clunky. A great deal of thought and work went into making that area look like a factory open car windshield. Did your father mate an open car cowl to the Tudor body from behind the doors? That would seem to be a logical way to make the conversion. With those outside door handles, dark body moldings over a lighter body color, windwings, and what appears to be a black steering wheel, one would first think of a 1929 Model A Phaeton, not a 1928. No matter, though. Where is the car now?
