Just when you think all the rare, custom-bodied Packards have been found and restored, another turns up: The '40 160 SunAire sport sedan fastback by Rollson.
forums.aaca.org/topic/340925-rollson-bod ... y-air/?tab=comments#comment-2003502 Hope it receives the proper restoration it deserves. Steve Attach file:  (110.04 KB) (103.07 KB) (98.32 KB) (154.22 KB) (51.94 KB)

If I remember right it was in a rollover accident, hence why the top was being completely rebuilt.

From what I can see in the photos it appears to be one of those 1940 cars without a theft proof number. No good explanation has ever been put forward for that oddity, affecting perhaps a bit more than about half the 1940 production.

The heavy trunk treatment was a Rollson trademark. A very interesting styling exercise. Somebody must have liked it given the look of the 1942 Chevrolet below.
