The 1954 Packard is my favorite year. Lucky for me, Brooklin has offered a whole host of '54 Packard models in various body styles. Prior to this post, I checked my database and while I knew I had a few of them, I was surprised to see that I had 16. That led me to take a look at my resin models and found 8 more. With a total of 24 models, I think I have the '54 Packard covered nicely (or maybe obsessively, LOL!)

Here's three of them from Brooklin.

Do you plan to buy the two new Brooklin Caribbeans, blue over white and white over blue?

Most certainly. My reservation is already in; I contacted Simon the day they were announced.

What stunningly attractive automobiles and model replicas of it ! It looks superb in all it's forms here and the exterior colors on these Packards are excellent.

1954 was a terrific year for Packard - few, then, could've realized that in just a few years, it would all be over.   Excellent post John, great looking models of wonderful cars.

1954 Packards are very beautiful cars. They look incredible and I'm very glad to see this nice trio from your collection.

Unbeluevable but in 1954 current affairs of Packard weren't good. The company would join to Studebaker soon and in 1958 one of the greatest brand would be discounted.

In any case Packard is a great and important part of history and 1/43 models remind us about this wonderful time.
