Penned by Ray Dietrich, the vee-windshield custom body series offered by Packard from 1932 through 1934. The original Dietrich design was slightly updated by Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky for 1934, with a longer hood flowing over the cowl as seen on this magnificent example. Most Packard Twelves, which featured Packard's V12 engine, received factory bodies; only a handful had magnificent coachwork like this from Dietrich or LeBaron.

Most Packard Twelves came with a standard factory body but this example is one of a few carrying the custom Dietrich label.

This vehicle features a longer hood flowing over the cowl, a V-type slanting windshield, a partition behind the driver's seat which lowers out of sight, a semi-disappearing top, and a longer and lower steering column with a special shifting lever and are among the custom Dietrich features.

The car is powered by a 455.5 cubic-inch V12 engine developing 175 horsepower, coupled to a synchromesh three-speed transmission capable of 93 mph or 0 to 60 mph in 20.4 seconds.
