This is a car set up for rallying it has done the 1000 miles of Czechoslovakia and the Competition of Reliability by Czechoslovakia (1500 miles around Czech and Slovak Republic). These are traditional long distance rallies (tradition since 1933 and 1937 respectively). And also some shorter local rallies. So not a Buick to be tucked into a car collection in the states for sure.

That is so cool. Would love to see it restored to original condition but it might be a hot rod next.

This is from a very good client of mine: She came to my collection in 2020 from the US. I use here normally even for long distance rallies. Asking price is €40,000. $42,000.00 US The car is located at my collection, so Hradec Kralove, Czech republic. The car is EU registered (CZE registration).

Thank you Jeff. I have been a part of the forum for almost two decades. I am sure the readers do not feel offended that I put a list up. If they do, well then we should take it down. What ever the forum wants Kelly does!

Hi Tim. I represent a wide range of cars - from Steam to Sportscars so sometimes you might see an Auburn Boattail Speedster, maybe next to the 1984 March Porsche "Kreepy Krauly." I send it out about once or twice a month. One thing I can guarantee is that if you love cars you will love the newsletter. In the past few weeks I featured and sold an Arnolt Bristol, a Bugatti T40, a Mustang, you never quite know what will pop up.

I can do one.. but after that it will be on a request basis. Although if you were on my newsletter you would see cars that are never advertised but just offered to my readers. The phaeton sold last week.

One of my collectors in Europe is downsizing and could be interested in selling. This is what he has available prewar.

Larry, I just saw this. Let me put it in front of another client. I will touch base with you after I talk to him. Thanks for sharing.

the confusion is in how I wrote the request. He was actually looking for 1) Sport Phaeton 2) Roadster 3) convertible sedan Packard of any prewar year. He is good now though.

When he crawls out of the car at the end - that's exactly what I feel like when I get back in my driveway after driving from New England to Philly through New York. And staying to the left is the trick. I actually realized that today and then read Steve's post.

Oh man. Talk about the good ole days. Where are the 18 wheelers trying to squeeze you out of your lane? The panicked drivers lane shifting without a blinker? Where's the fun? I cross the George Washington Bridge back and forth from PA to CT several times a month. As a matter of fact I will be doing it again tomorrow. Let the dread begin.

Kind words. Thank you. Hopefully I can find it a new home soon.

Well now we're talking ....

This car is not mine. None of the cars that I sell are since I buy and sell for collectors. I am selling this car and I thought I would post it because it is beautiful and worth sharing. It is located in Germany and part of a large collection from an elderly Mercedes Benz collector that has decided to oversee the sale of his own impressive collection so that his family is not overwhelmed with the task after his death. I'm smiling as I post it - it is so beautiful. From 1910 to 1924, Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (D.M.G.) built around 5,500 automobiles with valveless slide-valve engines. They use an invention of the North American journalist and inventor Charles Yale Knight for gas exchange in the engine using sleeve valves. In the company's history of technology, the Mercedes Knight types play an absolutely special role. Paul Daimler, son of company founder Gottlieb Daimler and head of the design office since April 1907, advocates the license production of Knight engines. The reasons for this are the exceptional smoothness and sophistication of the drive, which was unusual at the time. In April 1909 a preliminary contract is signed and the D.M.G. builds a test series of six slide valve motors. In March 1910, the company then acquired the licenses to produce Knight engines for an initial period of ten years. As the first passenger car with the new engine, the D.M.G. the Mercedes-Knight 16/40 hp in December 1910 at the Paris Motor Show. Series production of this 4-liter four-cylinder car begins in early 1911. Two other types, the 10/30 hp and the 25/65 hp, go into production in 1913 and are built until 1915. DMG has been producing the Mercedes-Knight 16/40 hp for the longest time, the designation of which was changed to 16/45 hp from 1913 and to 16/50 hp from 1924 – shortly before the end of production. The disadvantages of the Knight engines are the complex construction and maintenance as well as the limited top speed of around 80 km/h. Sufficient lubrication of the cylinder and slide sliding surfaces is particularly challenging. Eventually, valve-controlled engines prevailed over the Knight system. This Mercedes-Knight 16/40 is one of the very few running examples of this rare type. In addition, there is his fascinating biography, which, among other things, inspired lovers of classic automobiles at the Classic Days Schloss Dyck. The open car with blue paint and black leather interior is ordered in July 1912 and delivered in the same year. The order is documented by excerpts from the existing commission book of D.M.G. reproducible. In 1913 the vehicle then went on a long journey to South America: the importer had the Mercedes Knight delivered to Rio de Janeiro, where it was sold to a coffee plantation owner. In Brazil, the elegant car with left-hand drive and four-speed manual transmission has been used for several decades and has always been treated with care. The odometer reading today shows a mileage of over 32,500 kilometers. After more than half a century, the Mercedes-Knight is being honored as a museum: the “Museum de Armas, Veículos e Máquinas Eduardo André Matarazzo” technology museum in Bebedouro near São Paulo, Brazil, shows the vehicle from the 1970s to the mid-1980s. The Mercedes Knight finally returned to Germany via England in 1986. In Germany, the extraordinary classic changed hands twice. In 2000 it was completely and very expensively restored. For example, various metal attachments are gold-plated. The Mercedes-Knight 16/40 hp, which is well over 100 years old, includes extensive documentation of the restoration from the year 2000 and the traceable history from the order to delivery to the plantation owner. The vehicle is ready to drive and took part in a classic rally in 2017. Condition report with appraisal of EUR 650,000.00 / condition 1-2 Engine overhaul at Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in Fellbach for approx. 45,000.00 EUR $675.000.00 US email: kelly@exceptionalcarbroker.com for more information.

12 cylinders / 88hp Top speed 112 km/h German vehicle documents are available. In 1916, 3,606 examples of the Packard Twin-Six were made. Price is $170,000.00 and the car is located in Germany. The brand was founded by James Ward Packard and began in Warren Ohio in 1899. Success was quick and the brand opened a store in Motor City, Detroit, Michigan. The company quickly became a symbol of luxury automobile production. Producing first 4-cylinder and then 6-cylinder engines, the brand built an upscale customer base through the quality of their manufacture, the drivability and the efficiency of their engines. In the eyes of the brand's management, the 6-cylinder engine had unprecedented balance and the decision was made to develop a 12-cylinder engine with cylinders in a V on the same principle in order to produce a car that would outperform the competing Cadillac, which was being shown at the time, surpasses its V8. In 1916 the Twin Six appeared. It was originally offered in two different chassis lengths, a 125-inch (short wheelbase) and a 135-inch (long wheelbase). It has a 12-cylinder engine with V-shaped cylinders at 60° and overhead camshaft. It has two steel blocks and a capacity of 4241cc. In fact, Packard reduced the bore and stroke compared to their old 6-cylinder engines for more flexibility and strength. The engine has a power of 88 hp at 2600 rpm. It has a Packard fuel injection system. On this new model, Packard changed the location of the gearbox, which was moved from the rear axle behind the engine and installed under the floor just under the driver's feet. The transmission has a limited slip differential. The maximum speed of the car is 100 km / h. The Packard Twin-Six is highly regarded for the flexibility of its torque regardless of speed, which can go as high as 6 km/h. Braking is via the rear wheels. The car is equipped with a set of artillery wheels. This Packard Twin-Six has chassis number 84056 and has a Phaeton-style body, often referred to as the "Torpedo" in Europe. Its grille has an excellent water temperature gauge. The wonderful headlights have the shape so characteristic of the Packard grilles and contain the side lights. All fittings are brass, as was customary at the time as there was no chrome. On the left, the car has an electrically operated Sparton trumpet horn. It has a Bijur Motors Generator No. HZ546-R97R. The door sills are made of lacquered wood. It is left hand drive. The dashboard and steering wheel are also made of lacquered wood. In the center of the wheel is the excellent ignition control. The benches have covers. The body has an excellent and beautiful black color. The mechanics and the rest of the automobile have been restored to a high quality. The odometer reads a total of 99,441 miles, which doesn't mean much given the Packard Twin-Six's incredible durability and that quite a few of them have easily clocked up 200,000 miles. Combining all the different body and wheelbase configurations, 3,606 examples of the Packard Twin-Six were produced in fiscal year 1916. The Packard Twin-Six is one of the first landmarks in the history of exceptional American automobiles. Its robust construction, comfort and power speak for themselves. The best advertising is the owners who built them, so the brand's permanent advertising slogan is "Ask the man who owns one". As a good connoisseur, become one of these privileged ones! This Packard belonged to a large and well-kept private collection. All of the elderly gentleman's vehicles were stored indoors and moved regularly. Due to his age, he has decided to part with this vehicle. Wonderfully preserved, this Phaéton is waiting for its new owner.

I just saw this. Thank you I will follow up on this today.

I am looking for the following car for a client in the US. 1938 - 1940 Packard Super 8 or 8. Open car Concours condition. Would love one with a film related history (in a movie, owned by a movie star) although that is not a requirement. In order of interest: 1) Sport Phaeton 2) Roadster 3) convertible sedan Please email me at duesdealer@gmail.com should you know of an available car. Thank you, Kelly Dietrick

That is the best nine minutes I have spent in the last - I can't remember when! It just went from good to better to Holy Cow! He reminds me of Dr. Fred Simeone when Fred gets behind the wheel of one of the museums cars for a Demo Day. You're not behind the wheel of the car but their fun is infectious.

Thanks Guys. Good suggestions all. This is what I wrote to my client last night: I have been thinking about four seat prewar open cars with about 200hp. Generally. as we both know, if there was a back seat in such a powerful car (presuming the car is built for racing with that much hp) it would only be big enough to fit your kids until they are maybe six years old. There will just be enough leg room for them to kick the back of you and your wife's seats when they get tired, hungry or angry. They make the seats small for a reason.

Hi Everyone, I have a client looking for an open prewar four seater near 200hp. Originality not important but must be in driver condition as a minimum. He is located in the Netherlands and he is looking for a car that he can use with his family. He has a Bentley and a Talbot Lago already and I thought it would be interesting to introduce a big old American car to him. Any ideas? Kelly

Beautiful Car!

It would not be this collection would it? Livonia NY

Just like a spouse is just a person. Come on! You love cars because they connect you to your youth and when you finish completing one you bask in a job well done - making something out of almost nothing. No shame in that. I think tinkering with a car is a fine way to spend the twilight years. After all you are connected with more people on this forum that share the passion then you would be watching another sunset:)
