I never saw a really positive review on the Automodello 1954 Packard Caribbean but I have one and like it very much.

Anybody has an opinion?

We had a very nice review in MAR Online last year - of all three major 1/43 Caribbeans...

I REALLY dislike continental kits in general but this beautiful Packard is a rare exception.

"...but this beautiful Packard is a rare exception."

I agree with you - I'm not really a fan of butt warts,  but for whatever reason(s ) it looks right-at-home on these '54 Ribbys!

John K did an excellent review. I have the Brooklin white and green Packard and consider it an excellent model.

Richard, I have the Motor City, Automodello and two Brooklins and think all three makers knocked the ball out of the park. For me, special kudos to Motor City for having accomplished this competitive level of detail decades before the other two.
