And a 400, red & black, a bit pricey for condition:

Thank you Jack Klat re info on fiberglass replica body for the so-called '33. That is a certainly a relief. I wonder if any part of that vehicle is really Packard. It does have the crossbar on the front so maybe the frame? Can see the front suspension is new.

As I recall, those glass bodies were created with the hope that people would choose to mount them on a "plain old sedan" chassis, and evidently, many were. The company who produces these bodies is Gibbon Fibreglass

If I remember correctly, they also make an entire kit, (body,fenders,grill, lights, etc., in case you want to create a hot rod/street rod type of car, with all modern underpinnings.

Many years ago, I saw one of their '33 convertibles, mounted on a sedan chassis, and it was actually very well executed. The owner of the car could not afford an actual convertible, so he opted for the replica body, but was able to locate and install many of the original fittings, and the result was a stunning car, that would fool quite a few people into thinking it was the real deal.

Here is a link to the company, and evidently, the jigs for the bodies are now for sale.
