This Packard Darrin Convertible Victoria was delivered on January 27th of 1951 through the Meador Motor Company in Houston, Texas. It was purchased by Harry Rinker in the late 1960s from collector Tom Lester. A professional restoration was completed in the late 1970s. This is the twelfth of a believed 35 Darrin Convertible Victorias built in 1941. It is one of fewer than 20 estimated survivors. Power is from a 365 cubic-inch, L-head inline engine offering 160 horsepower. There are four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes and a three-speed manual transmission.
In 2011, the car was offered for sale in Monterey, Ca. presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $225,000-$300,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $203,500, including the buyer's premium.
