Seriously, I think this has a lot of potential...

Yeah, maybe... but I think those doors need to be totally re-worked... looks like a Doofus Droop instead of a 'Darrin Dip'. I do like the way the rear end was shaping up. Wonder what the radio is out of? The steering wheel is from a post war 22nd, 23rd, 24th...

In case the link dissolves... here's the car under discussion.

Edit: Based on the current bidding... some other folks agree with you.

That would be an awesome build should one have the $$$ to do it right! I'd love to learn it's history too.

The hood line needs to extend through the door and then gently taper off to the rear end. Those dips in the door are awful. It could be a nice car though and relatively cheap to restore seeing that it only has front seats, no windows and no need for a roof. If a roof was desired you could make a Carson type roof pretty easily. I give it a thumbs up.

What are those little brown box-shaped objects on the floor?

I would assume they are part of the radio. A non- '41 Packard model that had a control head with separate box for the tubes, amplifier, etc. Looks like two complete boxes.
