Convertible Sedan
Coachwork: Dietrich
Chassis Num: KB2259
 
This vehicle is one of just 15 Dietrich Convertible Sedans produced, and one of only 533 KB chassis's produced for 1933. It is believed that only six examples remain. This open coachwork sedan has a raked, V-shaped windscreen and 'suicide'-style doors.
In the mid-1970s, this Convertible Sedan joined the Rosenblatt collection. In the 1980s, it was given a professional and mechanical, no expense restoration. It earned a First in Class at Pebble Beach, as well as winning Junior and Senior awards from both the AACA and CCCA, along with the James Melton Cup from the AACA.

After Mr. Rosenblatt's death, the vehicle was sold through Christie's to a new owner, who used it sparingly for approximately one year. It was then acquired by collector Don Williams, who in turn sold it at Hershey, PA. Mr. Milton Robson acquired the car and retained it until 2007, when it was sold to the current owner.

In 2010, this car was offered for sale at the Sports & Classics of Monterey presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $350,000 - $400,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $385,000, inclusive of buyer's premium.
