Strange Brew: 1972 Dutton Phaeton
I really want to like this next car because it is a rare and cool looking etc etc…but I just can’t shake my first impression…which was that it looked like something that Herman Munster built after binge watching the entire 4 seasons of the original Transformers cartoon while exceptionally high on barbiturates. It cool…but I’m not sure what the neighbors will think. Find this 1972 Dutton Phaeton offered for $3,500 in Tampa, FL via facebook marketplace. Tip from David S.
