My old ratty non original top but you can see that #3 bow should be lower than the first two bows, with #2 being the highest.

I probably should have said push upward on curved portion of bow #3 (counting from back of car) so it’s more horizontal and spreads out that 1st bow.

It looks like you have the correct top bows for your Phaeton. When you put the top up to position you need to push upward on the curved portion of the horizontal bow on each side. Bow #3 (counting from the back of car) should be lower and this will also move that 1st bow in the back of car...

Maybe a long shot, could the rear bows be repurposed from a roadster? I don’t know the dimensions but maybe someone could check their roadster bows.

Klattu, mine measure about 9 3/8” center to center. The very early ‘28’s has a different setup as shown in photo. Could your set be from very early almost pre production bows?? John

Ah I see that Mike, Thanks I’ll be contacting you after I do a count, 16 I think

Model A, Early V8 and Jeep Suppliers offer body sockets. They vary in appearance and price ($3 to $10 ea.) Anyone offer some experience with a quality replacement that looks like original A.

I post these FB for sale cars from time to time with a bit of reluctance. I appreciate all the comments above and understand the reasoning for each opinion. No offense taken and like the perspectives. Showing on Fordbarn may opened up to a larger audience. And maybe, just maybe someone will...

If someone up for the challenge to finish what looks like a solid start. B Engine and all parts to complete are there. Saw this on FB just throwing it out there hoping someone may take it on.

I remember: pancake breakfasts at club members place, Members garage tours showcasing their projects and skills, Clue Rallys, Poker Runs, fall photo tours, manifold cooking tours, local parades with the kids piled in, picnics with car games and fun games for the kids.

Off topic here, Is this car an original Model A taxi?

Keeping this topic going ….This one sold just shy of three years ago. Beautifully and correctly done. Can go on Haggerty car sales website and see many detailed photos.

Another one from Facebook Green Bay. ‘31 Wide Bed listed 25k

And if you miss out on bidding on this beautiful truck, here’s one on Facebook that is nice but may need some sprucing up.

FWIW, my guess it’s an early’29. Forged fender brackets, powerhouse generator, CI sediment bowl but has outside door handles. Most likely park brake located in front of gearshift originally. Plenty of good bare chassis’s and parts if you need.
