Re: 33/34 Phaeton Register ??
Here's my '34.My Dad bought in 1963 for $700.00. It was an older restoration that drove good. I did a very amateur restoration when I was 17. He gave it to me about 18 years ago. Still runs good with the 37 engine that was in it when he got it. I'm finally getting around to moving th front seat back 2'' so it's more comfortable to drive.

Re: 33/34 Phaeton Register ??
V8COOPMAN .................
I tried to get that phaeton in our Register. I had seen a photo of LBJ in "LIFE" magazine, with his phaeton. I wrote to LBJ, explaining the 1933-34 Phaeton Listing and what we were trying to do, but this was less than a week, before he died, so I guess that my letter, etc., is lost to history. I wouldn't be surprised that that phaeton was still stored, back on the LBJ Ranch, somewhere. MIKE (mikeburch) |

Sorry to say, but I did not bring back my information. I was not able to get into my attic, where it is stored. Perhaps, this Spring, I will be able. Maybe, someone has an old listing. Everyone who registered, received a listing. MIKE (mikeburch) |

Re: 33/34 Phaeton Register ??
Wow, the car appears to be relatively un-touched from the years-past photo, including the wheels, tires, and even the machine gun ports on top of the fenders. Those headlights work well on a '34. DD

Re: 33/34 Phaeton Register ??
My Dad had a restoration shop in the 1980s and drove out to the LBJ Ranch to inspect the phaeton for the purpose of estimating cost of restoration. He has the letter hanging on his wall, signed and on her letterhead, of her thanking him for coming out and expressing her regret that she couldn't afford to restore the car at that time. Here are scans of the polaroids he took, probably around '83 or so? It is still out there at the ranch, which is now under control of the national park service, and as evidenced by the more recent pics of it, the park service must have found the money somewhere to get it fixed up a little bit with some fresh paint. Notice the wet bar and gun racks for the backseat passengers!

Re: 33/34 Phaeton Register ??
Here's a before and after of one we've recently saved that is now ready for final assembly. It is one of three '33 and one '34 phaetons I've had over the years.
