I picked up the Vermont Green version from Buz in 2012. Not a model I had planned to buy, but in person I could not resist it once seen.

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.

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.

Some more of a favorite era of Packards:
Sorry, it's easy for me to get "carried away" when Packards are featured.

Here's another from that time that is not mentioned often enough, IMO.
Enjoy (I do)!

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.

Gotta keep it rolling!☺️
My only 143 model....a Automodello 1934 Packard Victoria Convertible by Dietrich😉

Magnificent classic Packard, Larry. As your only 1:43, you have a prime example. Well done!
