Interesting. Patented idea or the old standby reason of "Not invented here" maybe?

Hi BDC
That appears to be a '30 Imperial convertible coupe with body by Locke & Co. on a 136" wb. Custom coachbuilders frequently included this feature in their bodies for those luxury chassis with sufficient wheelbase length to accommodate it. It was a fine idea, much better than climbing up the rear steps on the bumper bracket and fender, contorting one into the rumble seat. Steve

Any known packards with custom bodies that have this feature?
