Ordered the NEO 49 Packard Club Coupe and the new 58 Lincoln Mark III. The
Lincoln is done in Shasta Blue metallic with a cream interior. Very sharp. I had been waiting for a repaint of their black version. Their 15% off sale ended last night so I just squeaked in on these. Also considering that Aerosedan but I'm trying to find pics of a 1:1 in the colors it is done in.

Let us know how they look when they arrive. I have both of them on my list.

Nice models, Mark. I have the Lincoln in black. Not a Lincoln expert but it looks excellent to me.
Blue with white interior should please. I would prefer that colour as I find that black cars tend to disappear, especially when they are next to one of the many brightly hued '50's models.
That Packard also looks terrific and such a tasteful colour as well. I hope they eventually reissue it in another colour though as Brooklin's sedan and Matrix Models' station sedan are blue as well. Oh well.

I'll try to post some pics. They look good on-line.

It looks elegant in black but I agree that black models seem to fade when put next to more brightly colored models. Anyway, I hope it is as nice when I get it as it looks on the website.

Here is a brochure link for the Packard http://www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/packard/49pac/49pack.html
This might give you some indication of what colors they came in. Not color chips by any means but a rough idea. I make great use of this brochure site for research. You can also take a look at Google Images for pic of 1:1 cars of that year.

Thanks, John. The color looks like the car in the lower left of the brochure.
