I recently bought this model on eBay. What is puzzling is the hood ornament is the regular Packard pelican, not the Goddess of Speed as shown in the review in this website.

Does antbody know of any error models being done?

Our LECC was, indeed, issued with the silver Goddess of Speed mascot. The former issue, maroon, had Packard's Cormorant. TFM's next limited edition issue of the car in Cubana Tan also had the silver adornment. Sounds like someone may have knocked it off and replaced it with the more common (Non-LE) variety.

 

Ours:

@perrone1 If you don't know of any error models, that is probably what happened to the one I have.

I do not; so that would be my best guess. But even with the cormorant - still a great scale image.
