The '38 may be a few weeks away from headlining at Pebble Beach ...

What the seller calls a 1940 Packard seems to me to be an incidental designation. With the possible exception of the radiator frame on the front, practically everything else visible was cobbled together from other brands.

It looks like it was somebody's project that literally ran out of gas! The engine is an older Chevrolet, but the tires and wheels look fairly new. Perusing this forum you see examples of Packards turned into hot rods, customized Packards, woebegone barn finds, and gorgeous trailer queens.

This 1940(?) is a real head-scratcher.
