Hi Rick: The side curtain rods for the 1935 Phaeton were the same as for the 1936 Phaeton. The part numbers are as follows: 48-714920...front door rod, R.H. front 48-714921....front door rod, L.H. front 48-755434...front door rod, R.H. rear 48-755435...front door rod, L.H. rear 48-755438....rear door rod, R.H. front 48-755439...rear door rod, L.H. front 48-755440...rear door rod, R.H. rear 48-755441...rear door rod, L.H. rear The base part numbers were the same as for 1937 and 1938 Phaetons, but the prefix was "78" instead of '48" for these years so the 37 and 38 Phaeton rods were probably a different design than the 35 and 36 rods. The Benson Ford research library may have the original drawings for the above part numbers but they will cost $30 per drawing...if you inquire they may have all the part numbers under one drawing. Finding used rods and even reproduction rods will be difficult as none of the big part suppliers advertise them for 35 and 36. You will just have to keep your eyes open on eBay, etsy, or forums and send e-mail inquiries to companies and individuals that have stocks of unadvertised parts. Good luck.

Back in the late 80's, Dearborn Hi-Pointe re-created the 1937 side curtain rods. So, there were some 1937 sets re-manufactured. Have to agree with BRL, there maybe some out there -- but don't expect them to come knocking at your door. Good luck.
