With the lack of brightwork on the car, I would guess 1942.

My guess would be a body by "Brunn" judging by the top of the windsheild treatment. Looks like there style!!! Would defer to Topfuel is correct as to year but its definitely NOT 1942!!!!

Here is a Lincoln of "similar" year and body style, body by Brunn.....NOTE the top of the windshield. A la "The Henry Ford".

Looks like 1939 with split windshield and elongated headlights.
(believe '38 was first year with split windshield )
Perhaps a 1939 Packard 1708 V-12 Brunn Touring Cabriolet

Probably the 'picture taker' didn't bother to ask.

I just asked a local friend who is a noted Packard restorer and expert. His answer, "1939 V12 Brunn Landaulet." He also reports, "very expensive, with production around 20."

I believe that it is a 1939 Packard Convertible Sedan on a 127" Wheelbase.
