It does beg the question: on exactly what date did modifications to 1940 Packards cease to become period rebodies and instead take on the label of modern new coachwork? Think of famous rebodies such as the Duesenberg Graber Victoria and R-R PII Darrin Town Car. What if Darrin had finished his Town Car not in 1938 but 1939? Or 1949? 1959? What if a Packard owner took her car to the dealer several years after she purchased it so that she could enjoy important updates in brakes, etc.?
