When you think of 1930s vehicles, you think of dimly lit museums where careful attention is given to not disturbing the vehicle’s final resting place. Seeing a 74-year-old car enjoying itself on the road as it putts along with traffic is something of a miracle. The vehicle in question is a 1936 Ford Phaeton and the owner is one Harry Horrocks, whose stable also includes a 2003 GMC Sierra and a 1997 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic. This car is the 86th he’s owned.
Horrocks purchased the Phaeton in 2009. It had been sitting for more than 10 years after a partial restoration was abandoned. Its systems were in bad shape and needed to be completely cleaned and refurbished.
