Watch the new movie Marlowe....that's all i have to say.....decent movie...but I watched it for the cars (Packards) and enjoyed it just for that.

although I find it hard to believe someone with that much money in the film would be driving around in a 115c convertible coupe.....more like a super 8 or 12.....

A couple of screenshots from "Marlowe"

There is a Packard parked on the street in front of Steve McQueen's apartment in the movie "Bullitt".

Watching PBS Passport Classic Movie "Topper Takes a Trip", I saw a pretty rare 1939 Packard Darrin.

It appears to have a 1940 grille, but 1939 headlights, unknown parking lights.

Topper’s trip was to Paris. I’m not sure if this is a Hollywood set or actually Paris, but Darrin customized cars there before moving to Hollywood. This may be one of his first Darrin Victorias.

Not enough video to do a screen capture from farther away but here’s what I got. It has no hood trim and, as pointed out, Buick-like parking lights.
