1934 Packard Twelve Dietrich Convertible Sedan - FOR SALE at Ellingson Motorcars in Rogers, MN

This 1934 Packard Twelve Dietrich Convertible Sedan is an impeccably restored, well documented, custom bodied Packard and is perhaps the nicest example we've ever seen. In the years leading up to the Stock Market Crash of 1929, there were numerous luxury automakers prior to the Great Depression including names such as Cadillac, Marmon, Stutz, and Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg, along with the "Three P's" comprised of Peerless, Pierce-Arrow, and Packard. However, when the Stock Market crashed in 1929, billions of dollars of wealth was completely wiped out and demand for high-end luxury automobiles cratered. By 1933, the United States and the rest of the world was beginning to emerge from the economic devastation of the Great Depression. Of the three Series offered by Packard in 1934, the top-of-the-line model was the Packard Twelve complete with a long wheelbase and Packard's famous V-12 engine that debuted as the "Twin Six" back in 1932. Sitting even higher up the Packard hierarchy was its custom bodied vehicles from LeBaron and Dietrich with their gorgeous body lines and thus more expensive price tags. This particular Dietrich-bodied 1934 Packard Twelve Convertible Sedan comes to us from a prominent southern-based collection who owned this car for the past 60 years. Additionally, this '34 Packard 12 is extremely well documented including the original registration cards from 1934 through 1940, the original Packard Proving Grounds Certification, as well as numerous receipts and invoices from its most recent frame off restoration. Under the hood is a 445.5 L-Head V-12 engine paired with a single Stromberg 2 barrel carburetor. It's mated to a 3 speed manual transmission that is shifted using the floor mounted shifter. Like all Senior Packards in 1934, braking is provided by vacuum-assisted mechanical brakes in all four corners and a sensitivity control is incorporated into the dash. This 1934 Packard V-12 is well-appointed with regards to options including a driver's side auxiliary spotlight which was a factory option for Packard back in 1934. A rear-mounted color-matched trunk sits on the rear luggage rack for additional noninvasive enclosed storage. The beige convertible top is outfitted with a glass rear window and the chrome grille, chrome, trim and additional brightwork are all in outstanding, show worthy condition. Refinished in a two-tone paint scheme consisting of Meadow Green and Mint Green, the Custom Dietrich body is truly exceptional. The interior on this 1934 Packard Twelve Convertible Sedan is stunning! The front and rear bench seats have been reupholstered in lush Burgundy Leather and are separated by a functional crank up divider window. The rear seat is also outfitted with a folding center armrest and footrests. The woodgrain dash and wooden steering wheel are in wonderful condition as well and appear to be in their stock configuration. The dash is equipped with a 120 MPH Waltham speedometer, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, amperes gauge, gasoline gauge, and clock, as well as an optional factory AM radio and cigar lighter.
