Re: Coachbuilt Mystery: '51 200-based convertible in the style of Saoutchik

Here's the top up. C-pillar looks narrower and more upright at rear vs. production, suggestive of sedan decklid and attempt to provide headroom for a back seat squeezed in. Something - or someone, perhaps kid in child seat, is in back.
Different view from rear, still no rear seat visible but it might be blocked by folded top.
This car either started as a 2-door sedan or all these parts were ordered including the window sill trim. Otherwise why would an outfit like Saoutchik go through such trouble to make the car look exactly like the conservative Packard design when they had free reign to do whatever they wanted (Darrin dip, etc.)?
