What is that mounted on the bumper behind the fender? Aftermarket?

In his video the guy claims the early 28s had a tab on the radiator to hold the hood. Is this correct?

behind the fender is called a mud guard it bolts in between the bumperette on the end, I must be missing something on the generator there is a bail a wire the block the oil filler tube and on

Those fender guards were made by APCO. I have the special hardware for them, but not the larger pieces.

I'm not sure I understand the bail wire and filler tube comment, but the power house generator and metal conduit are early features that appear to go along with some of the other early features on this car.

Not sure what you are saying here Fred, but there is special clips on the 28's to hold the hood open. I have them on mine..... Jim

YES, That is what he asked, & what I ment.. They had it into sometime into 1929.. P.S. Radiator in picture is a Mid-Late 1929..

Nice photos of the 1928 AR Phaeton! I noticed that it has an "under the floor" back seat storage compartment for the side curtains. Our May 1930 Phaeton only has the "under front seat storage compartment" for side curtains. I like the idea of not having to remove the front seat cushion to get to the side curtains. Please tell me, what year and month did they discontinue the "under the floor" back seat storage compartment?

NO! He's asking what the item is that is reflecting the license plate in the photo that he attached of the driver side rear fender. It's a mud splash panel made by APCO.

I stand corrected on bumper item !!... I stand my ground on what my answer was to his question on the radiator clips..

Our 1928 Phaeton has the storage area under the back floor board, the car was build August 1928

My 9-27-28 Phaeton also has the curtain pan under the rear floorboards.

wrndln · 12-11-2011, 10:53 PM

I believe the rear floorboard side curtain storage was changed in early 1929. I have seen a late January 1929 phaeton with a rear floorboard side curtain tray. I suspect, like most other things Ford changed, they used up what they had before changing to the new part or way, in this case switching to under the front seat. If I had to guess, I would estimate that the rear storage probably was used on some 1929 phaetons until March or April. After that no phaetons had a rear storage tray.

Back to the car, I noticed that this one does not have the "rests" for the folded down top to lay on. Was this a later feature or are these ones missing? As well, it appears to me that it has the teacup fender on one side, and a regular 29 style fender on the other. This would tell me that it was produced after June of 28. Am I mistaken?

Jim,
I don't understand your question on the rear fenders.

Jim Parker Toronto · 12-12-2011, 02:43 PM

Was referring to the front fenders, sorry, not the rear....

If you are asking about the Radiator side hood hold clips, I already posted a large picture showing them.. Double click on picture to see them better.. Fred..

d.j. moordigian · 12-12-2011, 08:45 PM

Jim,
I looked close at the fenders, they look OK, but there are other things.
