The owner of this car does his own restorations in his garage. He does a phenomenal job and knows his stuff.
True. His v16 sport phaeton is phenomenal as well.

Is it the only Dietrich individual custom to win pebble beach BOS?
I would say that it has too many seats to be a Packard grail. Interesting that the “standard” 34 individual Victoria sold for more (2022 $4.1mm vs 2018 $3.7mm).

Seems there is something special about this one.........?
Very special.
probably the same value as 10-15 1934 12 cylinder individual Dietrich Victorias.

No car is worth four million, although some people may pay that for a car.
The Packard in the photo looks a little tied.
If I had that much to spend on cars, I would buy a 1931 CG Chrysler LeBaron Phaeton, a 1931 Studebaker 4seasons Roadster and if I had enough change, which I probably wouldn't I would buy an SJ Duesenberg, just so I could say I had one.
The person who buys this for four million usd already has those cars (if he/she wants them) and 20-40 other great cars. It is not an either or for them.

I have followed the full classic market for a while and I am hard pressed to remember any Packard selling for over two million in concours condition.
This is a less desirable body. My guess is that if the subject car is in the same condition it is $6-8million. And it takes 1-1.25 to get there. Plus you have the chance of BOS at pebble beach.-

Yes. I doubt you could get it for four million usd.

It needs the disks put back on. And keep the top up.

So, do most prefer the Dietrich Customs or the LeBaron Customs style wise ?
Dietrich in every case, for me.

Is there one of these or two of them? There is the blue car. Is that this car after restoration?
gooding says 3 remaining out of 17.
The blue car in MI is not the car sold in 2015 by gooding.

Are you referring to a specific body style from a specific year or all inclusive.
All inclusive. 1932-34, 8 and 12s.

I can see the auction catalog now……….restored from an honest solid used car. Never abused going down the road. Car has a real presence………..blah,blah, blah………..none better.
Looks pretty good to me. You would sell your wife to find one in this condition today.

34 Dietrich Stationary Coupe (1 or 4 or maybe 5 survivors)- photos taken in the mid 60's by Tom Kirn. Found in a field near Mohawk New York - price was $1,600. Just tracked recently that the car was sold new by the Packard Dealer - Fonda Motors in Syracuse New York. The car is fully restored and is used and driven extensively by the owner When the car was new it was delivered with a trunk instead of a rumble seat. I guess if you had $6,500 in 1934 Packard would build you exactly what you wanted. Even in this derelict condition the lines of the car are just stunning.

I was amazed that the four 810/12 cords being restored were sedans.
The 1933 pierce arrow v-12 was amazing.

I hope he continues his YouTube channel, 2.5 years is too long to wait for another video.
