1931 Phaeton how many were made and how many exist today?

[Royce P]

I seldom see another '31 standard phaeton like mine. They seem rare compared to roadsters or even deluxe phaetons. How many were built originally?

[31Abone]

I got one,paid $30 bucks fir it. 1958

[31 Woody]

Royce, I have no idea the answer, but have a question for you. Where's your spare? Right side? That seems unusual.

A Bone, I'll give you $60 for it...come on, double your money!

'Got a late '31 Standard Phaeton. So, that makes three that we know of.
According to the DeAngelis book, only 4,074 1931 Standard Phaetons were produced. This is only about twice as many made compared to the rarer Deluxe Phaeton in 1931!

That car is an identical twin to one in our club, even down to the color and sportlight.

Royce,

Very nice car...

[Royce P]

Yes it has a RH side mount. All four fenders were new old stock when Dad restored in in 1970. That's the one that had a well in it for a spare.

[Will Ziegler in LI NY]

I have one too.

[BRENT in 10-uh-C]

I have an indented fire walled std Phaeton body also that is currently on loan to the fellas at Ahooga A&T parts for them to explore the feasibility of reproducing the center section, rear section, and rear doors. This would give the opportunity for someone to build a complete reproduction body using Brookville cowl and Albrecht front doors.

One in our MARC region.

[Phil Mino]

Mine is still in rough shape.

[BRENT in 10-uh-C]

My gosh, it is Phil. How are you doing, and how is everything on the Ford Farm?

[31a]

I have one with dual side mounts, really fun car to drive!

[al's28/33]

I think Phaeton drivers and passengers get the most attention while touring in these upcoming winter months, all wrapped up in blankets and wool hats.

We ran across one in Dawson City (Yukon, Canada) on our summer tour this past year. The owner couldn't get it running, so being the good neighbors we Alaskans are, we spent the afternoon getting it going. If you look past the dust on it, it looked to be show-room fresh. The no start problem turned out to be crap gas that had been sitting in it for several years. Fresh gas and a little TLC and she came to life.

I know I'll hear it from for the non-correct colors (55 Packard) and the white walls but I just had to post a picture of my Phaeton. Purist don't like it but I do.

Carl,

The Phaeton in Dawson City is likely the sister to my 1930 Phaeton. Two Phaetons came to Fairbanks from Dawson City in 1959, the other car is still here, but rumor has it the the third one is still in Dawson City.

I also have one. I called it rare and a judge told me it may Be uncommon but not rare . Kind of deflated me at the time but not anymore. Wayne
