To the question, "Is a Phaeton a Roadster?" this popped up from the GNRS -

A phaeton is a term that has caused some debate among hot rodders. However, according to the Grand National Roadster Show, phaetons are indeed considered roadsters and are eligible for the America’s Most Beautiful Roadster award. Historically, a phaeton is defined as a four-door roadster with a folding top and non-fixed windshield. So, while there may be variations in interpretation, in the context of hot rods and classic cars, a phaeton is indeed a type of roadster.
