Hi

Yes, this historic, poor '56 Caribbean did appear at the Centennial. I have two photos of it, looked a little bit better then, but not much more so than now. Seem to recall it was rather outrageously price for its condition, though it generated considerable interest. Sorry to see it hasn't been restored.

Also at the Centennial: The shocker was the '34 Twelve 1108 V-windshield Dietrich convertible sedan in ratty, preserved condition owned by a bearded fellow in the white hard hat. He seemed to be engaged in serious conversations with various obviously well-healed fellows in hot pursuit of that ultimate prize.

I wouldn't have missed the Centennial for the world!

34 dietrich custom mystery solved



This car was owned for many many years by a gentleman from central New Jersey named Matthews, as far as we know it was the only 7 pass custom Dietrich conv sedan built. He was a long time Kanter Auto customer. Fred recalls that Ralph Marano of NJ bought and fully restored it
