Nothing else had the distinct long hood and shape of the convertible top that a Darrin did then. The Lincoln Continental came close for hood length but its cabriolet top was very conservative by comparison.

So, we know at least one of the fifty '40 Packard Darrin victorias was in Minnesota as a seven year old car.

This photo is posted on an AACA forum thread of period photos which has quite a lot of interesting images of all makes. Rarely does one see a picture of a Station Sedan in any period image.
