Check out this period foto 32 Phaeton
Found this on AACA site. Looks brand spanking new, and check out those tires! Never seen that before.

Re: Check out this period foto 32 Phaeton
Digger thanks for finding this beauty to share with us.
4 Banger, I think? I've got a '36 Phaeton. The dash, door line, windshield pillars, and wind wings of this and sibling vehicles represent poetry converted to hardware and scream out a narrow generation of designer squabbles that left the market with intricate subtle variations. To my delight.

Re: Check out this period foto 32 Phaeton
Looks like a roadster to me. The rear window is right behind the guy's head and the top looks like it angles down there too. As cool as those tires look I would hate to have to keep them clean!

Re: Check out this period foto 32 Phaeton
Let's submit this is a posed photo. Agree the rear window behind the driver's head is too close and improperly shaped for a Phaeton's passenger rear curtain if installed.
So why try to promote the car that comes out several months after the V-8's introduction? Maybe this is someone trying to drum up tire business? Helpful contributions?

Re: Check out this period foto 32 Phaeton
It is a standard roadster; note top color and material and painted windshield frame and top irons.
Jeff, The '32 roadster, phaeton, sport coupe, and convertible sedan all share the same basic rear window frame with different finishes inside and out depending on the application. |

Re: Check out this period foto 32 Phaeton
Just look at that front tire on the 34, curb rash. My wife must be related to this woman.

Re: Check out this period foto 32 Phaeton
Ford made vehicles which had unusual features such as special tires and often took photos of these before they left the Ford facility, or they never left the facility. You will find many photos with small features to the vehicle that did not make it into production. One that comes to mind is a interior photo of a hot water heater in a 34. I believe some of the photos were of special order vehicles for fleet orders.

I've seen tires like/similar in high end cars of that era.

Re: Check out this period foto 32 Phaeton
5.50 x 17 WSW tires, but not the bent spoke wheels, were a Ford RPO (regular production option) at least back through the '32 model year.

Those are Vogue tires created by the Vogue tire company around 1918-20.
