1929 STANDARD Phaeton
I have a friend who told me this AM that he is selling his 1929 STANDARD Phaeton. I asked the difference between a standard and deluxe. He said "the Deluxe only had 2 doors". I told him that only applied to the 1930 & 1931 Deluxe Phaeton. NOW, was there ever a 1929 Phaeton designated as a Deluxe. I am sure that those who added cowl lights and a right side tail light would then call it a deluxe, but I don't think they were ever a "factory" option. Am I correct or is my memory failing? I know, I am "nit-picking", just curious. He also told me that the 1928 Phaeton only had front doors, & was not a Fordor. WRONG ?????
Thanks, Don |

Re: 1929 STANDARD Phaeton
YOU are correct, not your friend. The Deluxe Phaeton (the ONLY Deluxe Phaeton!) was made from mid-1930 to the end of production 1931, although due to the winter months, production fell off after September. There may be some weird foreign body style that was called a "Deluxe", but for American production - there was only ONE Deluxe Phaeton with two-doors. All others had four doors, 1928-1931.

Re: 1929 STANDARD Phaeton
By the way, Ford nomenclature for the 1928 to mid-1930 Phaeton was simply "the Phaeton". It didn't become the "Standard Phaeton" until after the Deluxe Phaeton was introduced in mid-1930. The same goes for the Roadster. It was just "the Ford Roadster" until the Deluxe Roadster came out in the summer of 1930.

One of my friends bought a 2 door deluxe phaeton, but sold it soon after saying that it wasn't comfortable.
