The Packard was on my list since a few years so when i checked on the Buzz's site there was one in Black but it was not my first choice of color because i think to buy maybe also the BRK Limousine in Black. So David sent me pictures of one in Maroon and i went for that one. I agree with you Ben the model is fantastic in all the colors.
Here's one that might interest some. It's a 1946-47 convertible made from a mold sold in the late 40s. Just over 5 inches in length, it is longer than 1/43, as well as much heavier than expected, nearly a full pound. It was made by the Eccles Bros. firm around 1990 and, if I remember correctly, I bought it new. It's interesting even if somewhat crude by modern standards.
(later) Oh yes, I think that Packard did not build a convertible in 46-47, and the '48 convertible used a different body, the slab-sided Packard. Interesting toy.
