Re: 1933 Phaeton . . . it finally happened :)
Congrats! What a beautiful car!
A question though, I don't know the difference between a '33 and a '34, how can I quickly identify each year? Thanks for your help, I'm really enjoying this forum, and learning a lot. |

Re: 1933 Phaeton . . . it finally happened :)
Wow!! What a beauty! I personally think the '33 and '34 models are the classiest looking cars of the entire early Ford V-8 era. I usually fall in love with most every one I look at and dream about owning many that I see that are forsale.
I'm hoping you are a member of the Early Ford V-8 Club and will be bringing that '33 to some of the upcoming national meets so we can get a close-up look-see at that beautiful car.

Re: 1933 Phaeton . . . it finally happened :)
The grill on a 33 is flatter and the 34 comes out to more of a point. The hood on the 33 has curved louvers and a single latch handle in the middle. I have some of both and it takes a while to get to know the differance until they get side by side. After a while the differances jump right out at you. G.M.

Re: 1933 Phaeton . . . it finally happened :)
Thank everyone . She is going to be a fun car . The pics makes it look a little nice than it is as far as the body . It is good and solid with no rust any where but it looks like the doors had some mediocre bodywork done in the early 70's . We will fix that someday but for now Drive Drive Drive !!!!

Re: 1933 Phaeton . . . it finally happened :)
Here are more pics . The car has a lot of accessories . I guess the previous owner liked accessories . I believe this car was bought at the 1973 V8 Club National meet in San Diego . I will try and find out some more history on it for the fun of it .
Here are pics of the Dunford box . If anyone needs dimensions or more info just PM me . It is pretty neat ! It has an original 3.54 Rear end A six blade fan that according to the book was a 33/34 accessory The accessory gauges. One ford authorized and the other was not . |

Yes, I have the original top boot. It is on the car, in the pictures. It was in a "relic" condition, so I sewed it up a little and contact-cemented canvas to the back side. I also have the original curtains, in their original pouch. MIKE |

Re: 1933 Phaeton . . . it finally happened :)
side-bar question: is phaeton a two syllable word(fay-ton) or three(fay-a-ton)?
Quote: side-bar question: is phaeton a two syllable word(fay-ton) or three(fay-a-ton)? I do not know the correct answer to this but I always pronounce it (fay-a-ton) Not sure but I guess I should really find out now .Anyone ? Phaeton is pronounced as a two syllable word, Phae- ton (Fay-ton) Phaeton is from the Greek language. Phaeton was the son of Helios (the personification of the sun) Phaeton also appears in the Greek language as a play written by one of the greastest playwrites in ancient history, Euripides. In the modern era the name Phaeton was given to a style of horse drawn carriage which had four wheels. Later the name was attached to an open top automobile. Again, congratulations on your new car. Personally I like them to have a lived in look, with age they acquire an honesty that cannot easily be faked, if she were mine I wouldn't change a thing, and thank you for the photos. |

Re: 1933 Phaeton . . . it finally happened :)
Brubacker,
The word is usually pronounced with three syllables. 'Phay eh ton' or something similar. The automotive usage is derived from a particular horse drawn configuration; a light high wheeled carriage. That in turn was derived from the name of a Greek God. Today it is taken to mean a four door vehicle with folding top and side curtains. Ford's last one was 1938 I believe. Regards Henry |
