I also have a 1928 RHD Phaeton. It was made in Canada in April 1928, shipped to Australia, completed in-country, and then delivered to the customer in Perth in October 1928. The car later went to Rhodesia in 1967, then South Africa in 1983, and then to the US in 2002.

When I bought it, the car had a blue (US-style) Ford oval. I don't believe that was original as I understand the radiator shell was replaced when it was initially restored in 1960. Color photos from that time show that it was certainly a blue oval...but I don't know who put it on the car. I have since replaced it with the black-blue oval, though I did keep the blue one "just for history".
