Lets see those 180 A Deluxe Phaetons

[Alex Dragone]

Here is a picture of my late (indented firewall) Deluxe Phaeton. It is all original, meaning it has never been taken apart. You would have to see it in person and look underneath the car. My dad bought it in a collection of cars about 4 years ago from North Carolina and gave it to me. I am the cars second owner and I am only 22 years old! The body was painted once according to gentleman we bought it from in 1960. The car was originally all black with apple green wheels. This guys father painted it because the paint was faded he said. The car even has a ford dealer tag at the bottom of the cowl. Anyone ever see this before? I have the original quail cap that was on the car, I just thought the 29 Franklin airplain was a bit more sporty. I recently put the original cap back on the car. It was in a barn since 1962. It had the original interior in it, but I had it redone because it was eaten by a racoon or some other animal. It retained the original pattern and material, and I kept good pieces just to sho people the correct material. Anyone have pictures of their 180 A? Id like to see them, Restored, unrestored. I love these cars, and I think they are by far the best looking Model A.
