Default Re: 1938 Dual Cowl Phaeton

Well since you asked...
Wrong speedometer, a 1937 unit, and that is what the seller is basing the low mileage claim on.
Mis-match set of hubcaps, none of which are 38 Deluxe.
Add on aftermarket antenna on the driver's side cowl.
Odd rear view mirror on the driver's side.
Missing the draft deflectors (standard equipment on Phaetons).
Wrong / bent up shift lever.
Wrong cigarette lighter knob.
Extra something drilled into the dash to the left of the radio blank off plate.
Wrong rear seat interior door handles.
Looks like an old patch panel screwed to the driver's side rear floor board and painted over.
Missing the engine pans.



Don't forget the high price. I paid less than that for my Phaeton two years ago.


Even given all the above, the body doesn't appear to have been hit. If the price was less than half of asking it might be an ok starting point for someone.
