Description
This image has been purchased once.
A 1934 Packard 1108 Twelve Dietrich Convertible Victoria, one of the classic cars displayed at the first annual Edison Concours d'Elegance held in West Orange, New Jersey. A Concours d'Elegance (from French meaning a competition of elegance referring to the gathering of prestigious cars) dates back to 17th Century French aristocracy, who paraded horse-drawn carriages in the parks of Paris during Summer weekends and holidays. Over time, carriages became horseless and the gatherings became a competition among automobile owners to be judged on the appearance of their automobiles.
Traditionally, vehicle judging at a Concours d'Elegance is more demanding than that of a neighborhood or general automobile show. Trained judges examine the vehicle thoroughly. They rate each and every component. Only those vehicles that are judged perfect (or very nearly so) in every way, are considered eligible for trophy class. A Concours d'Elegance show features only the best of the best.
The vehicle is owned by retired New Jersey Superior Court Judge Joseph Cassini III and his wife, Margie, both well known within the classic car community. For the last two years and four times in the last eight years their cars have won best-in-show honors at the Concours d'Elegance of America. And their 1934 Packard 1108 Twelve Dietrich Convertible Victoria drove off with best-in-show honors at the 63rd Pebble Beach concours d'elegance as well.
"This Packard is the epitome of American style and grace in the Classic Era, said Sandra Button, the concours chairman. It is understated but elegant, and it has a striking but quiet presence. When it drove onto our show field this morning, and I stepped forward to greet the Cassinis, I could barely hear the engine running."
The Cassinis' Packard is only the second American car to win best-in-show at Pebble Beach in nearly 20 years.
