Ran across this two pics.

Hi

Absolutely wonderful lines and proportions! Derham built that design under license from Hibbard and Darrin who created it as their Torpedo Transformable four door convertible/phaeton with the top material flap between the side windows and second cowl windshield.

The convertible coupe version has the same low top, elegantly angled windshield and door frame with a low deck. In addition to Packard, they were mounted on Cadillac, Chrysler Imperial, Stutz, Hispano-Suiza and Rolls-Royce chassis, in either configuration.

There is a particularly gorgeous example extant on the '30 745 Deluxe Eight.....just stunning!
