Re: My Design for a '38-'40 Continental Touring Coupe

If I didn't have to worry about the $$ and was paying someone to build the body for me, I'd build a Packard version of the Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Corto Touring Spyder:
Only I'd make the tail more "boat tail-like", like an Auburn but not as narrow. It's hard to explain what I'm talking about because I can't find any accurate pictures of what I'm aiming for. The tail on the Speedster will be a wider boattail, with the fenders moulded into the tail, instead of having the rear fenders a "pontoon" style. It also won't taper down as sharp like all the other boattail Speedsters out there, but more of a gentle, rounded curve down.
Hard to explain, I know...
