Here's something you don't see every day. It's a 1938 Packard Darrin Convertible Victoria.
"Dutch" Darrin had been a U.S. Army Air Service pilot with the AEF in France at the end of the Great War and went into the automotive styling business afterward. He eventually landed in Hollywood, designing coachbuilt bodies for the glitterati, which were assembled on Packard chassis in Connersville, Indiana.
The '38 Packard Darrin in the photo was built for actress/dancer Sally Rand* and is for sale locally.
*VFTP SciFi angle: Sally Rand was a guest of the Heinleins at Worldcon in 1976, and appears as a friend of Maureen's in To Sail Beyond the Sunset. You could drive a car that belonged to a Heinlein character!
