There will be a seminar at the MARC MEET in French Lick, Indiana at 1:00 PM Monday, June 14, 2010 on the "Similarities and Differences" of the Deluxe Phaeton 180-A and the Convertible Sedan A400 (400-A). The seminar will be a Power Point presentation, presented by Ross Milne, editor of the 180-A Body Style Group Newsletter, and myself, editor of the A-400 Group Newsletter. We have been working jointly on this program and we think it will be one of the better seminars at the MARC MEET. There will be a handout so you will be able to take away the information that we present. Following the seminar we will invite the owners of the 180-A and A-400s to gather on the parking lot for photos and to view the features presented at the seminar. All owners and admirers of the Deluxe Phaeton 180-A and the Convertible Sedan A-400 are invited to attend. So bring yourself, a friend and you car to the meeting.

Someone actually folded an A-400 top? No, we don't need to see a photo of that.

peters180a/170b · 05-31-2010, 10:25 AM

Roadster62 [PLEASE ] its a 400-A not A-400

... Ford should of made the top like a Sport coupe on the 400-A NO Convertible sedan a Deluxe Sport sedan [L.O.L.]

.I know i am going to get my gromets broken out at the French Lick

. The 180A started out as a SPORT convertible but dealers said to change it to Deluxe Phaeton.

Peter, Are you the A-400 police now? LOL

peters180a/170b · 05-31-2010, 08:35 PM

I just counted in the judging standards under Convertible Sedan 9 times with A-400 and twice with the CORRECT 400-A.. How does this sound A-180 or A-45 ,,C-68 ,sounds like a quarterback giving signals .. l.o.l.

HoarseWhisperer · 05-31-2010, 08:47 PM

A-400-eh?

Roadster62 · 05-31-2010, 10:23 PM

I'm guessing there are more 180-A's out there than 400- A's correct?

Bill Edstrom · 06-02-2010, 06:14 AM

Pete, the meeting will be in the host hotel. I do not have a room number yet.

Roadster62 · 06-02-2010, 10:56 PM

Could someone post a photo or illustration of the 180-A interior door handle and latch?

peters180a/170b · 06-03-2010, 05:35 AM

Inside Door handles is for the 180A only . 1932,33,34 is different A+L made them for all years but wrong for the 180A. [to thick] ,..i'll try to post after this weekend meet.
