This 1940 Packard Custom Super Eight Sport Sedan by Darrin demonstrates their dramatic appeal remains undiminished by the passage of time. Production estimates vary, but fewer than 200 Darrin-designed Packards of all styles are believed to have been built between 1937 and 1942. The majority were striking two-door Convertible Victorias constructed on One-Twenty and One-Eighty chassis. Far rarer were the four-door Convertible Sedans, with perhaps 11 or 12 constructed—and most exclusive of all were the Sport Sedans.
