Just received this C.T.C S. Special Version, 1 of 400, of Brooklin's 1941 Packard Clipper. The color combo, and the addition of the fender skirts, makes it look different enough from the standard version to have them both in my collection.

Beautiful colors!  For contrast, here are two earlier Brooklin Packards, a chromed '41 Clipper and a stock '47. The third is a Western Models, very similar.

@d-m-holcombe 

I never realized that the dark blue/silver one is a '47 and not a '41. I see the difference in the grille now. Any other differences between the '41 and the '47?

This one really looks better as a 2-tone.

BRK 18C was a two-door. And here's another '47 by Western (WMCE).

A great design from Packard that is well represented in these models and others.

Love them both, especially the 2-tone grey Club Sedan.

@mg-harv Did you find the black tyre for the back wheel at right 😉   Thank you for your pics.
