Fenders are wrong for a 1941. I think its a 1937 Packard Darrin See: http://www.24hourclassiccars.com/thelibrary/grilles/graphics/071500_car.jpg |

Fenders are nineteenth series 1941 with the integrated headlights.but the body is an eighteenth series model 1806 body style 700 Convertible Victoria by Darrin produced in 194O.I suspect this is a very late 1940 car that got the new 1941 fenders.It is not a nineteenth series model 1906 ,since those had doors opening in the safe direction and different bodies ( body style 1429).The Packard Darrin was presented as a prototype in 1938 , but real production only started in 1940 the last Darrins being produced in 1942.To summarize : Packard Convertible Victoria by Darrin, 1940 ( eighteenth series model 1806 body style 700) |

You are correct, 41 fenders with headlights, front opening doors as in 40. Was it built this way or "restored" this way? |

Yes you are correct. I was reading the May 1987 Car Collector and Car Classics magazine and this was the feature car. The car was built in 1939 in Hollywood by Darrin. Sold in 1940 to actor Preston Foster. Foster took the car to Coachcraft Ltd. to have the 1941 front end put on the car. When Darrin shut down his shop in late 1939 the employees headed by Rudy Stoessel started up Coachcraft. |
