A few weeks ago, I posted photos of my newly acquired 1949 Packard convertible, well at the same time I purchased that model I also acquired this one. While not something that was on my wish list, especially since I'd never seen (or was even aware of this model) of course a quick look on hobby dB told me a bit more about it. 1st, this is a beautiful model and very delicate. It is in basically perfect condition, the headlights are a bit yellowed, but not bad. It also has one cracked whitewall tire, and I don't have anything that will replace it right now. Please forgive me however, the photos have been touched up to cover that split whitewall. I have a definite weakness for Packard models, and this one does not disappoint.
1933 Packard Super Eight Series 1004 Dual-Cowl Sport Phaeton - Mini-Marque 43, GRB-82B-Limited Edition, 1 of 50 (the box has a label on it from Sinclair's MiniAuto - not sure if he commissioned it, or just sold it - either way, it is very special)

This one looks great in the images ! A very impressive machine in real or model form. And if you like it and are happy, it makes very little difference what a naysayer may pontificate about, lol !

That's an exquisite model. Packards were such amazing cars.
