3 Way Comparo, '54 Packard Caribbean

Why is the Brooklin's has no gear shift??? Will it be fixed with the next run?

The wheel center caps seem also to be offset. 

Excellent video, which I enjoyed. Thanks for reminder about getting on Simon’s list for next production run.

A superb video look at all three of these 1/43 Packard Caribbeans, John. I would be delighted with any of these beauties from these manufacturers.

Excellent review John (lots of work, THANKS! ) but why weren't these 1:1 1954 Caribbean measurements listed:

- Wheelbase = 122"  

- Total Length = 218.5" 

- Total width = 77.8"

I'm unclear just how you arrived at your measurements in inches. Perhaps the answer is found in NEIKO calipers, which I do not own. 

Using wb,  for example, I would take 122" divided by 43 = 2.84" in 1/43 scale. Furthermore, using your numbers: 3099mm converts to 122" ....   Where does 72.07" (your number ) come from?

I'm so confused... 🙄 😯 🙄 

Thanks John for taking the time and effort to give us this look into the plusses and minuses of each model. I have had the MOC model in my collection for many years and have always given it high praise for its representation to the 1/1. I also have the Automodello and proud to have it in my collection. The Brooklin is on my waiting list and I hope to get it in the third color that is being offered,,,green/white. Regardless of the minor differences between the three models, all three will find a home with me and the pride of ownership.

Great review, it's nice to see all three models together. I've never seen a MOC Packard, but I am very pleased with the Automodello and Brooklin Packard in black. I am on the list for the blue/white, so I can't wait for it to arrive. 

I wouldn't mind having a green/white version as well, but I don't want to be greedy. If anyone is going to redo in yet another color, I'd love to see a reverse of the red/white being done. 

Awesome review John; thank you!

Wonderful comparison. Thank you John.

@chris, apparently I have devised a new system of weights and measures! 🙂

@jkuvakas I concur!  😀 🤔 😀 🤨 😀 🙂

@jkuvakas Made me think of this great SNL sketch:
