Yes. Somewhere along the line. https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/sj11/st--john-s/lots/r170-1932-packard-twin-six-individual-custom-convertible-sedan-by-dietrich-inc/190045 But they got to experience pebble beach 1st in class and return a great car back to its original livery. A true “collector” not investor. The owner (estate) selling it purchased it post current restoration.

The Jolsen Packard sold for more before the current restoration. 1.1 Mil. Individual custom Dietrich convertible sedans don’t get the respect they deserve, in my opinion.

Yes. Looking at the electric f150.

Is that the 1955 pebble beach best of show winner?

LeBaron Dual Cowl Phaeton ?

Love the orange senna. Ferrari is ok too

Wow!

Love the Murphy v16 and surprised at the estimate. About the same as a sport phaeton, which I love too. But the Murphy is custom bodied. if you got it at the low end an put a fresh restoration on it, seems like a likely first in class at pebble? For around 2million? That is less than the Duesenberg Murphy convertible sedan estimate at Mecum. *edit. The estimate a few weeks ago was something around 1.1-1.5. It is now 1.5-1.8. So I don’t think my logic works out. It will be interesting to see how it does against the 32v16 at the same auction. Both one of one. People seem to prefer the style of the 32 over. 30-31, but I would take the Murphy all day every day.

He also bought the 640 roadster in this thread: https://hymanltd.com/vehicles/7021-1929-packard-640-roadster/

If this was the one on eBay, you got the deal of the year (and possibly the deal of the decade). Congratulations!

Existing building that was added on to. CCCA was the first club to “partner” with Gilmore circa 1987. It was added onto about 15 years ago and that addition was just added on to. below is a mid construction photo. It is all painted red now.

CCCA expansion:

Is there Packard documentation that you could order the chrome radiator cover/nose as late as 1939? Sounds like it was an obligatory option to export to India. Did the factory chrome these export cars or would the dealer that ordered the car, on their own, chrome the nose?

Egr?

Looks good, but I don’t see the West PB topper in the NY auto show photo. 😉

How valuable is value-able? Under $100k? Do what you want. over $500k ? Don’t do it. between the two values: It depends. Smart collectors consider how they will get out of a car even if they don’t plan on it. Life happens.

Matt, I am terribly sorry that this is the direction of this project. what about making a low ball offer on this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1935-Lincoln-V-12-Engine-Running-Driving-Previously-Rebuilt-Condition-/363292696580?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 swap the engines and then part out yours to try and recoup some costs. You have a running car that you can keep or sell. just a thought.

Because it ruins the look of the car. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Chromed radiator cover and headlights: 🤮

What series: 60,70,75,80,85, or 90?

Six of the George Whittel Duesenbergs are in this thread. What was the seventh car?

Will be keeping my fingers crossed this morning.
