Is the picture you showed me the same car?
Do you mean the Brewster-bodied ex-Hutton car? Yes, the same car. I forget the full story but as I recall the body was from an older Rolls Royce and Hutton had it mounted on a new Packard Twelve chassis. Not all that uncommon, there's a '37 Packard Twelve around which carries a body from a much earlier Pierce Arrow - another case of an owner wanting to keep the coachwork but have it on a newer chassis - photo from many years ago when it was at the Rockefeller Petit Jean museum. And again much earlier in it's career, I believe the occasion was the inauguration of President Eisenhower. Original owner was a Mrs. Ruth Gordon.
