Pics: 1939/1940 Packard Super 8 Motorhome 10 years ago Rextoys bankrupt. Lots of divers colours of the 1940 Packard came at the market for ? 10,00. I bought some kept and traded some models.
These Packards came as taxi, police, army and civilian cars with or without a spare wheel in the fenders.
My friend Al Stack emailed me pictures of this motorhome. A hobby friend, who built 1/87 Swiss modeltrains, made this conversion for me.

That's a beautiful 1/43 model. Has the 1:1 been to Pebble Beach?

Looks like an oversize hearse. I have the Rextoy yellow and green taxis.

Sad that Rextoys ended. They had so many great Buicks planned that would have been great additions to their range.
