Why do you call it a phaeton? A phaeton is an open car, most people call an open car a convertible. Dictionary.com says a vintage automobile of the touring-car type. A touring car is a large open car seating four with folding top. By vintage, they dont mean 1956, they are talking about the teens and 1920s
