This 1926 Packard Eight Series 236 Sport model, body style 246, was a unique phaeton model in the lineup, with four forward-hinged doors and a lower body contour.

Bodied by Chicago’s Pullman Company, of railroad sleeper and palace car fame, the sport was two inches lower and five inches narrower than standard Packard phaetons, with a radiator and hood line lowered to suit. The result was a hood that seemed to flow straight back through the body

 Low and lithe, this car is one of three said to survive.

Reminds me a lot of the "Magnificent Jalopy" Packard phaeton http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/07/magnificent-jalopy-by-john-tomerlin.html

Really good book, I recommend it highly
