1934 Phaeton 1104

Not too shy to talk

What is the difference between a Paheton and a sport Phaeton?

Sport phaeton includes a dual-cowl (with windshield). Same body, though.

I strongly disagree. Maybe... maybe as high as 15% higher, but no more. And there wouldn't be hardly any difference between a sport phaeton with a newly-made dual cowl and one that was fitted from the factory. Hardly any more difference than adding sidemounts to a car that didn't have them originally.

You may be thinking the difference between a touring and a sport phaeton... and with 12 cylinders as well.

Although the source is dated and thus the absolute "values" may no longer be current, these may be useful for comparative purposes. These values for very high quality restorations, though not perhaps Pebble standards.

1104 Phaeton: $157,000
1104 Sport Phaeton: $175,000
1104 Touring: $178,000

No knowledgeable buyer would pay more for a touring than a phaeton/sport phaeton.

West, perhaps they weren't in comparable condition, perhaps someone wanted a touring especially (they are rarer), perhaps the bidding was more competitive for one over the other - these are only loose guides anyway; one ought to leave a little slack in judgement for such possibilities. Regardless, at these levels of value the difference is insignificant.
