Here's a link to a 1941, and it looks exactly how you describe your '42. It is a completely stock body, with exception to the top sheet metal being cut out in the middle, and a canvas top snapped into place. Very rudimentary customization, in my opinion. If the history of the car is documented, I would keep it the way it is. I would not spend a ton of money restoring it with the hole in the roof if you don't have any documentation.

My opinion is that it was a car customized for sight-seeing in the mountains.azcarsandtrucks.com/1941packardbl.html
