Default Interesting A

Not mine and yes, it's modified - looks to be shortened 4-door phaeton. The main reason for posting it is because I recall seeing pix of a similar car years ago. IIRC, that one was coach-built in Germany "back in the day". I think it had roll-up windows like a cabriolet. Anybody remember it?

Doing a good job here is like wetting your pants in a dark suit.
It gives you a warm feeling, but nobody notices.

When I was a kid there was a Model A coup that had the front end on both ends. It sat on the road going to Nixa, Mo.

It look wrong because for that style of body the rear must align with the centreline of the rear axle. see the other photos
