I wonder if there will be several color choices for the Packard Caribbean??

That remains to be seen. Color trials such as this are exercises in seeing how the paint takes to the casting and how the masking works. The original color choices for the NABCC were Packard Ivory over Bikini Blue Poly. That club is no longer operating. Orders for the Caribbean from the NABCC, unless canceled with a refund requested, have been converted to a resin-based model from another maker. Folks who originally ordered from the NABCC will be given first pick of the new model. If you are one of those folks and you're not on our list, let me know at kuvakas@gmail.com.

A Packard Caribbean ! What a beautiful car and it will make a superb subject for a 1/43. I have two in 1/18, a cream and a maroon red. These Packard cars in all scales are a fine choice to do.

So true Mike. I loathe continental kits but IMHO this car is one of just a few that wear it very well; it's going to be a gorgeous model.

@karl I asked that question on the BRK FB page. I'd think they would be charity auction items in the next BCC in-person meeting. This has happened to one-offs before.
