Fast phaetons at the 2003 Portland Roadster Show Last updated on January 1, 2007 Home Shown here from left to right are Wayne Mahaffey, who built the 1935 Ford phaeton from 1948 to 1950; Wayne's wife, Fran Mahaffey; Eddie Duhan, who used to drag race the 1939 Ford convertible sedan on nitro, and was driving it from Oregon to California when he was hit head-on by a drunk driver and nearly died; and Sam Parker, who restored the car after it sat as a mangled mess for 35 years. The trophies are all from drag racing in the 1950s. All text and images on Roadsters.com are Copyright 1996-2007 Dave Mann
