Re: 1936 Packard 12 Owner's Manual

Curious what model 36 Twelve you're working on. I've been occasionally immersed helping a friend with a full restoration of a 36 Twelve Dietrich convertible victoria. It's an interesting car in that the patent plate shows it as a 1936 model but the Dietrich (Detroit) body plate identifies the body as being built for 1935. Perhaps the original purchaser cancelled and the car was upgraded to 1936 (primarily a nose change) to avoid selling a leftover. Got any pictures? Of course I'd love to have the vehicle number and the thief-proof number for my database.
