This is really a question that calls for West Peterson. One thing for sure, it's neither a 734 boat tail speedster or one of the replicas. Now the Packard Custom Body shop didn't have an exclusive on boat tails, both Biddle & Smart and I believe Merrimac also made that style (for Hudson & Essex and perhaps others) in a form that looks similar to the photo. So I guess there is a slim chance that the body is legit though probably not on that chassis. But if pressed for an answer, I'd say it's likely a nodern creation.
