I would like to think that, between Packard and the builder (Henney), they would have had enough engineering sense to use a convertible frame and related reinforcement techniques to compensate for the structural integrity that was lost in a closed car to - what is, for all practical purposes - an open design.

However, with the front half of the roof removed, the rest of the roof would act like a parachute and had to make for terrible handling at anything above in-town speeds.
