Thanks for the link. I was the Best of Show for Elegance. I had a chance to look under the trunk lid and there were still marks there where the lid had been formed. As we know Dutch Darrin did his Packards, starting in 1938-39 after returning from France, using the junior models. Probably because they were all metal and less expensive to buy. Graber may have chosen this Eight because of less import taxes and costs. This Graber must have been one of the last custom bodied cars made before the outbreak of WW-II. It is a very dark green. I first thought it to be black.
