Mopar was the main player in the LWB sedan market, sold the majority of these 8-passenger models to livery operators where speed wasn't the primary consideration.

Of course, Ray Dietrich had to show the industry how to design an attractive club sedan, 1926 Packard 243.

Another personal all-time Packard favorite:

Ed: Maybe you can tell us about what fun a Ruxton would be to own when the fan belt breaks.

West: The maroon car (Style No. 720) was the first of the sport sedans; does share a good deal of its proportions with the ~ ten convertible sedans (Style No. 710) which came after the sport sedan build began in California. These two Darrin sport sedans are Style No. 730 which was an effort to create the style without the extensive modifications the Styles 720 and 710 entailed. The hood and cowl, though extended rearward, those as well as the radiator shroud and hood section heights were not lowered as much as the other four door styles or as were the convertible victorias. Retaining the standard fenders and running boards reduced the cost though does detract somewhat from the general verve of the design. The sole 1941 Darrin sport sedan is this build configuration as well. Of course, compared to the standard factory sedans, they were a major improvement. Steve

A.J.: Yes, this design masterpiece survived in Mexico doing taxi duty until Dr. Charles Blackman rescued it. It was designed by a young Art Fitzpatrick who was hired by Dutch Darrin to do design development in his Sunset Boulevard shop. The construction began there but was finished in Connersville, IN when Packard contracted with Central Manufacturing (Auburn) to build the fifty 1940 convertible victorias. It was bought by the president of Phillips Petroleum from a Texas dealership. The other two sport sedans are much less customized than this car, they still have running boards in place! Probably won't surprise you to know that this Packard Darrin Sport Sedan is an all-time favorite of mine as well. Steve

A berline is a sedan that is upholstered throughout in the same fabric but is fitted with a partition (divider) window that can be lowered when not in use. The idea was to equip the car flexibly to be owner-driven with the partition window lowered but when needed for chauffeur-driven formal occasions have it available to raise. If the driver's compartment is leather upholstered, its then considered an enclosed-drive limousine, not intended to be owner-driven. The social conventions of chauffeur-driven era cars faded away by the advent of WWII, except perhaps in isolated 'old money' circles.

Its fully metal 'clothed' brethren, DuPont Model G Sport Sedan by Merrimac.

The Franklin Pirate designs executed by Walker based on Dietrich's El Pirata show car probably look better seen in profile where the ungainly flaring of the lower body to cover the frame valance and running boards isn't as obvious. The rear prow is striking but not attractive.

The 1940 Packard One-Sixty SunAire Sedan by Rollson, one of the two built, the other a 'notchback'. Packard should have contracted Rollson to supply these as catalogued customs.

An all-time favorite since I first saw one for sale in the Cars & Parts magazine in 1968:

Peel off all that hideous detritus, you might have a nice Cadillac...though not for $50K. To paraphrase H.L. Mencken: "No one ever went broke underestimating the taste (or intelligence) of the American public."

Bill Robinson had great taste in motorcars.

Since this subject has been presented and generated so much discussion, interest and enjoyment, here is perhaps the 'one that got away from Packard'. It is the most elegantly styled sport sedan of all Classic KB model Lincolns: The 1932 Sport Berline by Dietrich, Model 240, of which only eight were built. Look closely at the cowl and doors, you'll see they are virtually the same as the Packard V-windshield Individual Custom Dietrich convertible sedans. A victoria-coupe-style bustle back panel imparts more close-coupled proportions compared to the Packard convertible sedans. Enhancing this application, the convertible-style half-doors with thin chrome window frames lending a lightness not seen even on the Car of the Dome. The flat windshield was likely selected to simply differentiate the style from those supplied to Packard. The other two 1932 Dietrich-bodied Lincoln KB's, the 2-passenger coupe and convertible sedan were carried over from 1931 albeit both with V-windshields differing in detail from those of the V-windshield Packards. With its metal roof, convertible-style body structure, and close-coupled proportions, Packard should have demanded to have this sport sedan among their Individual Customs. The three small images were posted by A.J. on the 'Great Classic Sedans' topic, bear reiterating for this discussion.

AJ: Maybe more like this?
