Hi Mal
Yes, this car is coachbuilt, not only is the rear quarter window and roof different from U.S. production, the rear door is also wider. It also appears to have a taller overall height. Interesting car, hope it finds an appreciative owner to restore it.
For reference, here are the photos from the advertisement. The styling matches the Martin & King seven passenger sedan/limousine shown in Mr. Neal's Packard 1948-1950. It would be interesting to know if Martin & King employed composite construction in its body builds.
