Greetings from across the Pond. John Ellis, that master of model manipulation has been at it again, this time with a Minimarque 1931 Packard. John was gifted this Packard as a "wreck" for spare parts. After much thought, John decided a restoration would be the better option. There were a few parts missing but he raided his spares box and here's the result.

@perrone1 I agree. Too nice to have been relegated to the parts pile.
