A little history on the 1940 blue Packard Darrin. This car was owned by David Darrin, Dutch's brother. The story told to me by Margaret Darrin David's wife when the Darrin was at Just Packards in 2009-2010 for some mechanical work.They were driving south and stopped for gas at a station in northern Fla.and spotted this Darrin with a forsale sign, and David said "My brother built that car, and I'm going to buy it".This happened around 1950.The car was later passed on to son Tim Darrin..............

Should add that the change to electric on 1941 160/180 is also a bolt in using the 1941 110/120 complete set up...

Prewar wiper info.:1940 110/120 one speed electric....1940 160/180 vacuum....1941 110/120 two speed electric...1941 160/180 vacuum....1942 all two speed electric....Electric wipers probably used on 110/120 first in case of problems!

Use the complete electric assembly from a 1940 Packard 110/120. It is a bolt in.......D

The Studebaker 289 engine with supercharger about 695 lbs. , the Packard 352 about 690 lbs. The difference in handling probably due to the Studebaker engineers relocating the rear spring to rear axle mounting position........on 57 Golden Hawks.......

Sorry I missed this movie, I wonder if the Darrin spotted was Chester Morris own car? He had a 1938 Darrin either #3 or#4. We know that.Dutch Darrin liked to have his cars in the lime lite anyway he could.

The factory photo of the 1942 convertible shows a preproduction car........Note the 41 type hub caps, script on the hood side (no script on 42 conv. except the. 160 and 180),and the 41 style two tone..
