Oh My, grab your drool
towel, sit back and study the photos/HD video of this
rare specimen. An all steel "Tom Walsh" built 36 Phaeton
with shocking attention to
detail, fit and finish in every category.
Straight out of a Missouri Museum in pristine original
condition, it was the perfect candidate for the high
level of respect that it continues to receive today. If
you are picky, expect the best and you want doors that
just click, this beauty, is the right pick. A Classic
Touring Motor Car that exudes timeless style and modern
amenities. Speaking for itself in
presence, stance and style...
Meticulously massaged and resting on a very professional nut/bolt body
off Resto-Rod restoration.
With an original and pristine 100% Henry Steel body, it
made the perfect canvas for perfection. It's hard to
challenge factory style, so only simple yet
tasteful modifications were performed. The top and
windshield frame received a 2" chop, the spare tire was
leaned forward just a touch and louvers on the
hood. Ron Souza handled the metal, prep and the mirror
quality PPG forest green finish and Sid Chavers trimmed
the Tan soft canvas roof with fitted side curtains.
Simply Delicious...
Receiving the same level
of attention to detail, the custom designed rolling chassis features updated body color
frame rails & tubular structure, Heidt's fully
independent front suspension, Ford 9" limited slip rear
differential (308 ratio), ladder bar rear suspension,
Alden coil-over shocks, polished Wilwood 11" 4-wheel
power disc brakes, Rack-n-Pinion steering, stainless steel
hardware and rolling on 15" Wheel Vintiques Gennie's
with Goodyear radial rubber. We have more ;-)...
Neatly tucked between
those rails and hood sides is a GM Performance 502 cubic
inch V8 485hp 10:1, GM intake manifold w/Holley 4bbl
750cfm, H.E.I. ignition, B&B engine dress, ENOS
alternator, Matson radiator w/5,500 electric cooling
fan, billet belt drive system, Heat Coated Headers
w/custom 2" S&S stainless exhaust and Turbo Hydro 400
auto trans. You get the idea...
Moving inside, Sid Chavers
quality continues with custom built seating/door panels
wrapped in supple dark green Leather and German square
weave carpet. LA's Bob Kennedy finished the dash, steering
column and custom e-brake in warm hardwood faux
finishes. United Speedometer completely refaced the
factory instrument cluster and updated 12V conversion.
Other features include Vintage Air Conditioning with
polished components, ENOS wiring and rear seat storage. Black Tie Quality... |
