Default Re: 1927 Model A Phaeton?

Looks like the ratchet mechanism on the framerail in the first photo for the left hand (er, uh outboard ?) emergency brake handle so it was probably originally equipped with some version of the early braking system, although most likely not the earliest. But then again I know very little about changeover dates on the export stuff. the one thing I noticed first is that the cowl has the flange for the welting which says that its certainly not the earliest version. I'd guess probably a mid 28 car with a lot of parts that have been upgraded and changed over the years.

I'm curious about the pedals though. Any chance you could post better photos of them? I doubt that the LHD pedals could be installed on a RHD car, so unless they're some kind of odd early feature the only other thing I could imagine would be if someone had grafted standard pedal heads onto RHD pedals. Weren't the pedals for RHD cars all round headed?
