Some rarely seen models of US cars - Part 6

I will continue now, after a few months break.

1984 Ford Mustang - a white metal model by Dinkum Classics, a defunct Aussie firm

1978 Cadillac Seville - HV Mod, a white metal model from Germany

A Suburban in a Police livery. A very rare variation of a well-known model. It's not only the livery, it's a GMC. Most of these models had a Chevy logo.

1970 Chevy by Buby (Argentina)

1962 Valiant - Kookaburra models from Australia, white metal

The last one for today - 1937 Packard, an absolute holy grail of any collection.

The Packard is outstanding. What a beautiful model.

All are special, Albert. The Valiant seems rarely made, and I agree about the Packard. Thanks!

I like that Packard and Valiant. The HV Cadillac looks like it belongs in a Wallace and Gromit movie, no offense.

Actually the Trax version of this series of Valiant is much better and also from Australia.

Agree, but this one pre-dates Trax by years and it's white metal.
