A great model and a standout in my collection. When this model came out, I no longer had to consider whether or not I would by it, your pictures had already done their job.

Terrific images of this magnificent automobile and Danbury Mint 1/24 model of it ! This replica is certainly a real show-stopper on display or in photographs and the 1:1 version must be a absolute stunner.

Here is a picture I have that is from the Packard photographic department showing an actual phaeton being set up for photography. It appears to be about a 1/4 of a mile long !

beautiful car, model and pics, thanks Tony. I have the skinny whitewall version. When it came out I kept of thinking of how great it would be if, as with the 1932 Cadillac Phaeton, DM would make a roadster and hardtop. Well we were going to get a coupe, as Tonys pics of Rick Hanmores collection showed. What a loss.

In Yalta conference documentarys, we often see almost this exact car used by the participants.
