Parade Phaetons



Hi all -

The "Detroit" car was sold from the Imperial Palace collection to Robert 
Petersen and is now in the Petersen Museum collection (Los Angeles).  It 
was at the "Spring Fling" in Woodley Park just a month ago.  The Los 
Angeles car is still owned by the City of Los Angeles.
