1929 Phaeton top Bows
I am restoring a 1928 Phaeton and the the top wood's bows are almost rotted out, therefore is practically imposibe to use them to take any pattern. Does anyone who have prints or drawings with dimensions?.
I live in Argentina and for customs regulations we can't buy this kind of parts from USA. Thanking you in advance |

Re: 1929 Phaeton top Bows
Dear fellows, I found almost all top bows dimensions. I need only one drow. The first one, who is near the windshield.
Somebody told me that is the same that is used in the roadster model. Does anybody have some drawings or the dimensions of this wood bow? Thanks |

My unrestored 28 Phaeton would have the same bows, but with the covering on them is there still something I can measure for you?

Verrece, same here , mine are covered.
We are not ignoring through apathy. All you really need is the outside overall distance from side of roof to other. Where the steel ends the wood starts across the windscreen posts . |

Re: 1929 Phaeton top Bows
You really can't just have the wood pieces shipped to you?
Come up to Houston or Miami to visit and carry them back in your checked luggage...

Re: 1929 Phaeton top Bows
It may be a customs thing, down here in Australia, customs are big on wood products, whether they are imported through a courier or carried as hand luggage. If we don't declare we cop a fine and the product is destroyed. Argentina may be the same.

Re: 1929 Phaeton top Bows
rightly, as Dave in Australia said, for custom regulations, here in Argentina, we can not import wood parts, therefore I must built it. For this reason I need the wood bow drawing,

Re: 1929 Phaeton top Bows
I have top bows for a '28 most that are rotten and damaged by fire, I'm in the process of replacing/repairing them, the one most forward toward the windshield is charred by fire but I should be able to get you some dimensions, are you still looking?

Teun, I don't think they are the same as a roadster, Mac's has they listed and the are different prices and listings for the phaeton and the roadster. Thanks again!

Re: 1929 Phaeton top Bows
I’d sure think after 9 years his dilemma is solved! Maybe not!
I’ve had projects that long myself! |
