Re: Wrecked 34 phaeton
Was the bear driving the car? He did signal.

Re: Wrecked 34 phaeton
Yeah, but I can't tell if he is signalling a right turn or a left turn.

Re: Wrecked 34 phaeton
NOW for the "education" part of this post....what about this wrecked phaeton tells you its 34 instead of a 33????.......from what I see, would it be the "bumper ends"? Horn??? Every other tell tale sign is destroyed beyond difference

Re: Wrecked 34 phaeton
The grille surround shows it to be a '34...

Re: Wrecked 34 phaeton
As Pete notes, the grille plus the spacing of the holes in the front bumper for the bumper guards.

Re: Wrecked 34 phaeton
Fenders are body color . Yes there can be exceptions to this but black fenders on 33 and body color on 34 is normal .

Re: Wrecked 34 phaeton
Drinking and driving was "socially acceptable" and very common back then. Driver was probably headed home from the bar. just hope he didn't kill anybody else.

Re: Wrecked 34 phaeton
At least there likely would be no rust to contend with in its restoration, but its highly likely that it ended its days parted out in a junk yard.

Re: Wrecked 34 phaeton
I also read this as the car in motion when the disaster happens. If yes, that's an impressive hit to do what we see to the front bumper.
If the car was sitting and got clobbered then the bumper would not be so "nicely" formed around the impacting object.

Re: Wrecked 34 phaeton
Nicely played but I think the car did the hitting. If the train hit it then there would be more bent parts on the secondary market and secondary roads!

Re: Wrecked 34 phaeton
If it were hit by a train you would have to walk along the tracks and pick the car up in mostly very small pieces. I've seen the results of a number of car train arguments, the train wins every time.

Re: Wrecked 34 phaeton
My guess would be that a bigger (higher) vehicle (truck, bus) ran into the left front
of that car right where it sits... .
