It should go back to the Ford Museum with the rest of the family's milestone autos.

steve s · 12-14-2012, 11:08 AM

What kind of head lights are those?

ctlikon0712 · 12-14-2012, 11:32 AM

That is the replica if i'm not mistaken, according to Vence Faulter's Ford Garage.
The original is still around but is much changed from its Model A roots.

(edit) OK, I just finished the Hemmings article, it is the car returned to its original form.
Thanks WTSHNN!

Similiar, but not matching. I do not know where this gentleman originates from.

That is a cool car. I like the front bumber- kind of like nerf bars.Those headlights are interesting.

Thanks for posting

Here are the pics.

roccaas · 12-14-2012, 01:34 PM

Does that rear cowl glass folded forwards look like a NHTSA nightmare?

/chops into cranium of driver.

Interesting that it has Ford script on the ammeter.

i just finishes a story on Deluxe Phaeton for a upcoming mag..Edsel had a lot to do with the 180A. As Larry Hierholzer from Michigan said : EDSEL Ford styling exploits: THE 2 DOOR DELUXE PHAETON 180A ..When you think about it, WHO ELSE out there made a TUDOR PHAETON body style???? Fine story done by Larry in the Model "A" News mag. in May/June 2002.

WTSHNN · 12-14-2012, 05:35 PM

Wow. This frame is kinda cool.

Looks like a repro ammeter, along with the instrument panel, gas gauge nuts & gas gauge.

Purdy Swoft · 12-14-2012, 05:56 PM

I always thought that car was ugly. I would much rather have a standard phaeton for my use. I can say nothing good about Edsels styling on that one. I guess being a common man, I just don't have rich taste.

I noticed that, too. An apparent repop.

O come on... Over all a very,very nice restoration and $$$$$ to boot. I am sure they did not have FINE POINT JUDGING in their mind...If you want to go down the list then the ON / OFF plate for pop-out , late 1931 brake drums. l.o.l...if you were to go over every car at the Henry Ford Museum you will find a lot of repops.

columbiA · 12-14-2012, 11:33 PM

At least they didnt try to guild the lily by putting WW tires on it.Are those Marchal headlites on it?

Fordors · 12-14-2012, 11:47 PM

Refer to post #5 about the headlamps.

Has anyone else noticed the Panhard rod on the front axle? It's mounted to a one-off front spring clamp. I'd like to see more detail shots of that chassis.

ctlikon0712 · 12-15-2012, 02:28 AM

Is the Genny one of those new fangled Alt/gen? I like the panhard bar. Would work well on a larger and heavier A like a Panel/Delivery or my Woodie.

Tudortomnz · 12-15-2012, 03:13 AM

That is very stylish. It appears Edsel & Ford designer E.T. Gregorie were interested in European Auto styling, culminating in the Model 40 of '33& '34.
Re that chassis pic, besides the Panhard bar on the front, look at what is on the rear & it is not Fords transverse spring!

roccaas · 12-15-2012, 05:20 AM

and the 1950's Benz in the corner of the picture of the frame--that would also be a sweet ride.
