FLYER15015 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Just checked the net, and "supercars.net " says she is a '32 CL. I don't think so.............. Another image of a '32 CL had doors in the hood sides. In any case, she makes the Dusy blush with envy....................

Scott Bonesteel Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I have always been more than happy with my 34 Mopars but with the 'call of the question' being dream car, price is no object and largely unobtainable, I have to go with a 1933 Studebaker St. Regis Brougham, which I believe there are none known to still exist.

Scott Bonesteel Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Should have been more specific: 1933 Studebaker Speedway St. Regis Brougham Model 92. I think the blue one posted by Keiser is the shorter Victoria. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have certainly been wrong before. Yeah, the net lies. The 31 CG and the 32/33 CL are pretty easy to tell apart by the Hoods on the later which have the Count de Sakhnoffsky treatment extending them to the windshield. This car has a cut down windshield, there were two that had it, the other has been restored back to the Lebaron windshield.

Xander Wildeisen Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Maybe the handles were used to help FDR. If it was harder to grab/open the 33-34 style handles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your stock car will be on the Hershey show field with a Hot Rod on either side competing for the same AACA awards, welcome to class 24A. Hope you don't have a problem with INDY cars and GP cars, they will be in completion for the same awards.

Walt G Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Bob, regarding that Chrysler Imperial roadster from 1931 , for decades there was one located in the Syracuse, NY area I believe.

Mike "Hubbie" Stearns Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I've thought about this a lot. I like them all. Each has its own appeal to me. This might make some mad at me, but to me a model a, all ordinal is just as appealing as one that has been hotrodded. Both have their benefits. I like the 69 HO Cutless, the mid 66 novas, the 1930s cars and trucks and mussel cars. Many have a car or truck that just presented it self and a deal was made to own it. My father was a master mechanic. There wasn't anything he couldn't fix. I was in ahh many times that he could fix the impossible. I can remember going to auburn and seeing all the cars and trucks and he would explain how the worked and looked. He like them all as do I. As to your question, to me it is impossible to answer. I just like them all. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ring-style 'coach handles' were used on Packard touring car bodies at least through 1933 whereas the phaetons had the more modern bar style. The 'coach handles' were an archaic style by then but an easy identifier for the touring car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermontboy Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Back to the dream car - nostalgia wins out and I guess it would be a 1933 Pierce Arrow Model 836 like my dad bought in 1960. If I remember correctly Ed said the 836 was nowhere near the car the V-12's were. My dad drove it over to Bernie Weiss' house when we first got it and Bernie said the same thing - "Jim - you should have bought a 12 - it's a lot more car." On the other hand I am sure the partial engine rebuild done in one stall of o 2 car unheated garage in January and February of a Rochester NY winter was a lot easier on the 8 than on a 12. I remember Ed did a comparison of the 31 and 32 Pierce 8's - would love to know how the 33 compares. From a practical standpoint a 31 Model "A" sport coupe like my first car would be more practical - I can fix almost anything blindfolded on that. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'coach handles' were an archaic style by then but an easy identifier for the touring car The oval handles on the open car with FDR in it indicate the car was a 7 passenger touring car. 58L-Y8 is correct , a phaeton had the regular styled door handles these were used on the other body types/styles for the cars as well. Some town cars had oval handles ( by request of the buyer or the body builder) and yes they do acknowledge the earlier era of cars and body styles that reflect the horse drawn coach era. the 5 passenger open 4 door body style that used side curtains and did not have roll up windows in the doors have been referred to as both touring cars and phaetons. The name phaeton came into more use in the late 1920s especially for a five passenger car. For a while some car manufacturers used the word touring car for a 7 passenger car and phaeton for a 5 passenger car. This mainly took place until the mid 1930s when the open car that used side curtains ( usually with 4 doors) was phased out as a body style that you would see on offer in a sales piece of promotional literature issued by the automobile manufacturer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
