Rich, did you figure out the extra handle question for the LECC Packard?
Check the interior of the rear doors. Each has 2 handles. The front handle is very close to the back of the first row seat. One of mine was partially detached, likely knocked by the seat during assembly. I tried to adjust it, and it completely fell off. A remnant of "mahogany" decal was attached to it. The repair was not trivial.... Otherwise the model is exceptional, with few minor flaws that the rivet counters, myself included, will always find.

Yes... I found out the mystery of the loose handle.....
It was put there as a prank. If I say anything more, my comments would quickly degenerate into a rather raw, expletive filled rant.

Me Too! e-mail stating shipped 11-15, never happened. along about 11-25 it now says I will get 12-2 hate to say it but Legacy goofed. No explanation where it languished for 10 days, (UPS in Chicago?)I was looking forward to it being here when I got home from Las Vegas 12-24-2016.
I know a 1941 Packard does not run on unleaded fuel and the self driver feature was not available back then. Not perfected let alone even thought of so we know it is not driving itself to its new home here. Oh well something to look forward to again.
