1936 Super 8 Dietrich Convertible Victoria owned by John & Lee King
My 1936 Super 8, Convertible Victoria Packard, is a rare
car even when it was new. This car has a factory Dietrich
body supplied through Packard in Detroit, Michigan.
I purchased this car in 1992, from Mr Tom Crooks, in
Tacoma, Washington, U.S.A. It originally came from
Billings, in Montana. Both Mr Art Linkletter, famous for his
child interviews on "The Art Linkletter Show", which was
seen here, on Australian television and in the U.S.A. in the
1960's, and the former U.S. President, Mr Ronald Reagan,
travelled in this car in parades. This car has never been
restored, but has been repainted and reupholstered, a long
time ago.
