This isn't going to be a post showing the '54 Packard you might have been expecting to see. Now the recent '54 Caribbean from Automodello has indeed joined my collection, I just haven't had a chance to get some photos of it. Hopefully this weekend.  Instead, this one is by Brooklin. Last October, during a fun-filled diecast weekend, some Forum 43 members traveled to Dayton, Ohio. One of our activities that weekend included an opportunity to view (and purchase) models from the late Wayne Moyer collection. One of my finds from that group was this beautiful Patrician Sedan. Finished in Polaris Blue and Meridian Blue, it is indeed a very fine model.

As a usual Brooklin is excellent. Looking at the model you have an opportunity to imagine America of 50s where not only GM, Ford and Chrysler were on the roads.

Packard is one of the greatest brands. Carribean has wonderful design which encouraged the Soviet Unon to copy it on their cars.

Great addition. Excellent color combination. If this was trimmed with bare metal foil, a very net and tidy job!!

I really like my John White repaint in two-tone green.

What beautiful Packards and Brooklin models of them ! That two-tone blue is particularly good-looking and sure presents itself as stylish and elegant.
