This example is number 68 or approximately 100 Dietrich Convertible Sedans built in 1937. According to the Packard Club, it was sold on June 2, 1937, in New York City to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Reportedly, when the Roosevelt family was finished with the car, it was given to the chauffeur. Giving such a car to a chauffeur was a traditional practice in a family of such stature.
