At this time, the car is not being parted out to others.

It's a convoluted story, but in short, Packard was just using his name.

This photo you posted is a car that was considered "Individual Custom." Still, it was built by Packard. Earlier Packards Customs from 1930-31 had a body builder tag that said "Custom by Packard" as opposed to LeBaron or Dietrich (Yes, the LeBaron cars were also built by Packard).

I'm still finding out if the fenders are available. The car is being used as a parts car for the owner's other car. I'm pretty sure he doesn't need the front fenders, but I haven't gotten confirmation yet. The car is located in southwest Ohio.

As mentioned, by 1934, the Dietrich tag really had nothing to do with Dietrich building the car. It mainly meant specific-ordered trim (upholstery).

In my professional opinion, with only six of the 1107 convertible sedans extant, and with the probability that the original special order "trim" probably having already been replaced during previous restorations, there probably isn't much difference in value from the other six cars. The quality of restoration will be the determining factor in value (not to mention if it's got good provenance verifying that it's not a Super Eight or Eight body that has been transferred over to the Twelve chassis.

The tag under the carpet on the right side of the car, (either in the back or the front) will NOT be a Dietrich tag. It will be a body number tag.

I know of a 1928 parts car with fenders. Where are you located?

Indeed. Good upholstery shops are busier than Walmart on Black Friday. Limiting yourself to 100 miles might not work out for you, especially in an area where there are a LOT of collectors looking for same.
