The 54 Panama looks nice. I can't tell where the problems are on the body.

1924 that needs a lot of love. The good news is it has a drive train. I'm not sure but it looks like a 5 window coupe but the inside don't show a lot of room for a back seat.

Here's a 40 Darrin on Ebay but I have some questions;
Where's the "Darrin dip" in the doors? What about the padding on the dash? m.ebay.com/itm/131471815652?nav=SEARCH OD: sharp eye on the 250 sedan!

BDC, It's a Darrin convertible sedan, not a Darrin convertible Victoria, so totally different styling. I forget just how many were made, but very few. Perhaps the best known is Bill Hirsch's, shown here at the 1999 Centennial. If you weren't aware there was also a Darrin 4-door sedan, 3 built I believe, one prototype and 2 production units and I think all 3 survive. I'll see if I have a picture.
Yes, the padded dash was a Darrin feature though I'm not sure it goes back to the very first such Darrins. Someone else here will know.

I asked the owner if this was an original Darrin and received back the answer of "I received this car in pieces little over 20 years ago. Spent a few years restoring it" Gorgeous car but I would recommend investigating it a little more to make sure it's always been the real thing

Hi
"...I would recommend investigating it a little more to make sure it's always been the real thing." That's good advice, I recall there have been more '40 Darrin convertible sedans created beyond the originals. Of those, the number given is between nine and twelve produced. Apparently Auburn Central Manufacturing weren't too strict in their record keeping or they've been lost. It may well be an original car but they might want to give the top a remake, that out-of-shape rear quarter looks horrible. It should have a nice forward rake angle. Steve

Their stating
"This car has had a ground up restoration" Think they mean they GROUND UP a PACKARD and built this.
