Ben: I must agree that the Packard in Black looks fantastic. A real "formal "look.
I love both of them. The black looks very formal. I wish these would be reissued.

How ‘bout a couple of Brooklins?

BRK 18B is one of my favorite Brooklins.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.
BRK 18B is one of my favorite Brooklins.
It has nice lines and although I quite like the light blue on it, it would really suit a 2-tone.
All the above are great looking models. I thought I would add a couple of pictures of my one and only Packard. It is an Automodello 1938 Packard Twelve Convertible Victoria. I purchased this in 2013, and I think it is the second 1/43 scale model car I purchased.

Ed, if you can have only one Packard of the golden classic era, I think you have made a good choice. Well done!
Automodello made some very nice models a number of years ago. They seemed to stop making 1/43 models to focus on 1/24 scale. Are they still in business and if so, any recent models in 1/43??
@kenspear The last 1:43 Jim Cowen offered was the Alan Fraser Sunbeam Tiger. I don't keep up with his 1:24 offerings but they have certainly taken center stage with him.
Magnificent classic Packard, Larry. As your only 1:43, you have a prime example. Well done!
