VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1933-1936 How many '35 Phaetons exist today?

I just purchased a nice '35 Phaeton from the Bob Jones estate near Nashville. Any idea how many '35's are still around? Is there a register of these?

This car is nice but hasn't run for 4 or 5 years, so am working to get through some things before attempting to start it up.

I would guess fewer than five, . No one knows for sure. There was 234 produced.

I know of one in Maine, Ohio (mine), Tennessee and NY, so far. I would guess that there are more out there, but I would love to know where they are.

And Chip Foose rebuilt one a while back.

Do you have a picture of the 35. We'de like to see it.

There are at least three phaetons that have been hot rodded.

One belongs to Mike Lynch in Canada. The second one won the most beautiful roadster award in 2014:

Here is another 35 phaeton recently sold by Mecum:

Dan Groman mentions another four phaetons. So there are at least 7 phaetons in the USA and Canada.

There is an Argentinian Phaeton (RHD), in very poor condition, which has been for sale for several years:

The one in that Dan mentioned in Tennessee is also in the Bob Jones collection and last we knew it was still available. Dan bought his and I bought the 1918 Model D V8 from the collection!
