1940 Packard Custom Super-8 One-Eighty Convertible Victoria

The Packard Darrin was a blending of all the glory that was Packard in the Classic Era with all the chutzpa that was the stock in trade of Howard 'Dutch' Darrin - glamour with lots of pizzazz. Without Darrin's insistence, the car likely would never have been built. Reportedly, Darrin arranged to have the prototype car parked outside the Packard Proving Grounds at the time of the annual dealers' meeting, precisely where the dealers couldn't help but see it. Under pressure from its dealers, Packard included the Darrin as part of its catalog for 1940 with three models: sport sedan, convertible sedan, and convertible victoria.

It's estimated that roughly 100 were built through 1942 when production was halted due to World War II. The current owner acquired this car from the estate of an owner who acquired it in 1959. It was restored around the mid-1990s and has never been shown.
