Packard Darrin??? There were many variants of these but the one here looks like this one = http://www.fquick.com/pics/viewpic.php?id=204 - note no decoration on the hood sides.

I agree for a '41 Packard. The thing that it's quite different of the "usuals" Darrin. See this link Link to "www.rmsothebys.com" .
The suicide doors and the lack of chrome ribs and hood decors make me think that it could be from another coachbuilder inspired by the Rollston design.

If you Google image search Packard Darrin you will find several with suicide doors.

Sure, but I wasn't able to find a '41 Darrin with the suicide doors. They were all older that model year'41.

I think that some of these Darrins were on rebodied on earlier chassis. The one I provided the link to - shot in 1952 - looks to have a 1941 front end.
