1955 and ‘56 turned out to be the last years of the real Packards. Here is a ‘55 400 2 door hardtop. Shown with the Brooklin model is an actual car differing only in that it has the optional Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels. Pretty car finished in Rose Quartz and White. In the proper light setting the Brooklin color is a good match of the actual car.

Terrific comparison of a beautiful car. The second to last year of the true Packards.

One of my favorite BRK. I have the standard version and also the Packard painted/detailed by John White in White/Bronze/White put just aside of my BRK 1954 Packard Patrician also painted and detailed by John White. That makes a beautiful duo i think?

These two Packards are stars in my Packard collection. David, your fine photography demonstrates once again that Brooklin did well by Packard.  Thanks for this fine extended post.

But wait, there’s more!

Brooklin’s ‘51 Packard Mayfair

Even though this is an earlier Brooklin with virtually no chrome detail, it still bears an impressive likeness to the original.

Okay, I like the Mayfair and mine looks just like yours.  Any Caribbeans?

All excellent Packard models from Brooklin, I have these and cherish each one. Mini Marque issued some very nice '56 Packards model as well. You can never have too many Packard models.

The Minimarques 1939 Packard Club coupe looks awesome also. I have never been able to found a real good photos of this model.
In fact what happen with Minimarques it is been awhile that i did not see a new model?
