Default Re: 1932 Phaeton Std. vs. Delux

IIRC, the original side upholstery panels on a standard would have been pressed cardboard, on a deluxe would have been the early vinyl that Ford used. See Dave's book. The front seat back would have been painted on a standard and cloth covered on a deluxe. There were some retainer strips that went along the front of the rear door opening and on either side of the kick recess to assist in retaining the cloth (these are REALLY rare). Top irons would have been painted black.
