Speaking of original packaging...the case that Minichamps uses for their 1929 Duesenberg......(pics) model J Torpedo boattail convertible coupe is HUGE!
it measures 9 inches by 5 1/4 inches!
I just got this one today! very thrilled to see the fine details on this model.
detailed pics coming in the next day or 2.

Ben, standardised packaging - I am sure Minichamps use the same size ...
case for their Gift Sets containing at least two models.

I thought these larger boxes for for their more detailed "high end" resin...
models, but I have seen no real documentation about it...

Yes sir...that Rollston is also on my list....now more than ever due to your fabulous pics!
See what happens?
I bought the Duesenberg because it is a boattail, but now it will branch out into another genre of collecting!
Damn, this always happens!

I think Chris Sweetman is correct...they have a one-and-done standard clear display they use.

That sounds accurate Chris.
