While I agree with you, we may not know for quite some time what that car is worth! I suspect that the Collier/Cunningham car isn't going anywhere any time soon, and neither is the green(?) one in California. As for the Burgundy one, well...we are not selling it any time soon if I have any say in the matter! To my knowledge there were only three authentic 1006 Dietrich Sport Phaetons made.

Doing the lords work!!

It is so great that these cars got so photographed back in the day. I would love to find more on our '33 Sport Phaeton.

that is one heck of a trade up these days!!

I really do enjoy this thread, its turning into somewhat of a timeline for these amazing Individual Customs. I thought you all may enjoy a few photos of the 1006 Dietrich Coupe we have here. I just finished some major repairs and refurbishments on it. I had the hood off during the repairs, testing and torquing period for the head studs. We almost left it off 😆 This car needed some very invasive engine work due to sitting....DRIVE YOUR CARS!! 🙂 Catch it in Miami at the MODA Concours on March 2nd and 3rd!

I think when assessing value it is important to note that although this car is unrestored, it is NOT original. The way J-346 presents today is the result of a 1950s refurbishment. Some may have called what was done to it in the 1950s a "cosmetic restoration". A stretch given todays standard of restoration. Personally, I do not find this car to be a preservation candidate. I do however feel it is a rich opportunity for someone to embark on an AUTHENTIC restoration that stands out against the over-restored mentality we have grown accustomed to. It will be interesting to see what it sells for. Although they are not accurate, I find it to be a shame that the current short-term owner thought it was appropriate to take a saw to the fenders that had been on this car for so long, trying to emulate the original Duesenberg style.

I may be an outlier here, but for this specific car I kind of prefer the woodsmoke wheels.

Here's our answer folks! https://www.goodingco.com/press/article/gooding-and-company-announces-selections-from-the-mullin-collection

This afternoon Gooding Company posted at least a dozen Mullin cars heading to their Amelia Island Auction. I suspect there will be more to come.

@packard12man Would you be willing to share your file you have on this car? I am its current caretaker. What are the origins of the B&W Photo of the man standing next to it? A deep inspection of the underside reveals hints of what it was red. It is definitely the same car.

I am in the middle of recommissioning a Light Eight Coupe, when I am ready to market the car I will be sure to post it to AACA! It's far from perfect but would make a solid driver.

I am interested in the 1957 Oldsmobile Dealers Booklet. could you send me more photos? matt.goist@gmail.com

Bringing this for the show on Friday, and as a fun daily driver while in town! Best week of the year!! 1912 Simplex 50 HP Torpedo Tourer

I am also interested in purchasing one of these. I know many Franklin Club members who need these. Thank you for taking the time to do this project. They look great!

Some of us Californians are still preparing our show cars! "If it weren't for the last minute nothing would get done!" 😛 Enjoy your time out here, see ya soon!

I am still waiting on my Franklins to mature! 😆😆

While I do agree with you, if two people want it, it must be "worth" it

I agree, I’ve seen this car in person multiple times. I think it will easily break 3.2, and wouldn’t be shocked to see it so high est.

I could be convinced on a single shade of green, or just painting the rims, or...just driving it!! 🙂

Yes, that is a great service they offer that I have used multiple times. Already sent my inquiry.

And another worthwhile share, and another Ex-Otis Chandler car, coming up for sale once again. This one wore whitewalls up until about two weeks ago. @edinmass is correct, its always a good sign to have rock solid history back to the earliest day possible. This one is no exception, and it really delivers. It will be interesting to see what it brings compared to the 1934 that sold recently in Amelia. Personally, I think the Blackwalls help this one, but I would really love to see it back in its original two-tone green. The chassis is black, its almost like that was already in the plan for it someday 🙂 https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/mo23/monterey/lots/r0003-1933-packard-twelve-individual-custom-convertible-victoria-by-dietrich/1329681

I am just finding this thread now, I should check these forums more often. I'll contribute this one for now, as I do not think it has been posted yet. Pretty well known car. Ex-Otis Chandler One of three 1933 Sport Phaetons ever built, currently receiving some long overdue maintenance by yours truly. I have heard that all three made appearances at major 1933 auto shows. I would like to confirm where this one potentially went, if anyone has history to share privately or publicly. For that matter, any history anyone has to share on this example or any of the 1933 Sport Phaetons is greatly appreciated. Briggs Cunningham owned a '33 Sport Phaeton, now in the REVS Institute, still in the same condition/restoration when owned by Briggs. This is the Blue one. I believe the third remaining one (painted green at one point) also lives out here in CA, sharing floorspace with the survivor '33 convertible runabout.

@john2dameron would you consider sharing these photos? I recently purchased a car that used to be in the Harrah Collection and would like to gather as much history on it as I can.

Ant this one as well, recording the Duesenberg being sold once again from the used car dealer who purchased it through the City auction.

I am stumbling across this older thread as result of a search, but I will add these two newspaper clippings to the history if Jimmy Walker's Duesenberg J. This article is from December 23, 1933. City money was used for the purchase. Enjoy.
