70?
Do you count the headlights like a single part?))
Great pic ! How did you do that ?
Thanks! It was no harder than the model assemble))
Whoa, great image ! A whole series of little replicas to make a bigger replica.
"Twin six" next?
I'm for it! (pic)
Packard built its early success as the standard American luxury car with the four-cylinder Thirty of 1907-1912 and the mighty Six of 1912-1915. But the model that really cemented Packard's reputation as a make of the highest rank was the 1916-1923 Packard Twin Six, which one-upped Cadillac's 1915 V-8 with four more cylinders and lasted with relatively few changes for eight years: a remarkably long run.

Sadly, Volodymyr, I will admit that your chosen Cadillacs will probably outsell any possible Packards that you might produce. I fear the Packard is becoming as forgotten as the other "three P's." When was the last time anyone saw a model of a Peerless?

This is an over-the-top model! Are there still a few available, Vlad?

Cadillac only)))
Couple of pieces literally
I am definitely an admirer of Packard......
I have a lesser number of Packard models, but one reason is that they were through in 1958.
I do have 71 Packard models. I'll show some later.
I also have a 1905 Peerless Green Dragon race car by Dust & Glory. At least one Peerless out there.
Vlad, my Packard posting was in answer to David H....
I know you are making only Cadillac, and that is a good thing.
And here it is! And with engine detail, no less.

Harvey, it's a gem! Unique, too.
