What a lovely car, indeed!
Any time I see a mid to late 30s phaeton or roadster for sale, I wonder why any were EVER made.
In my opinion, though lovely, they're wildly impractical. Especially in that time period, when roads were much better and speeds much higher than in earlier open-car eras.
Of course, such a vehicle would be MUCH more practical in, say, Australia.
Yet Mal, the only Aussie Packard-ist of my acquaintance, has a CLOSED Packard. Hmmmmm.....
