A 1933 Packard Twelve (10th Series) Convertible Victoria bodied to a Raymond Dietrich design, one of an estimated six surviving authentic examples. Riding a 142-inch wheelbase and powered by the 7.3-litre V-12, it carries an older professional restoration in Oyster Gray over oxblood leather, with chromed wire wheels, twin side-mounted spares, and rare Pilot-Ray steering-linked driving lights. Held by a single Ohio enthusiast from at least 1973, it subsequently entered its current ownership in 1990 and was restored by Classic Coachworks in Ontario.
