The 1906 Packard (Click on pictures for enlargement.)

Good information (and the Packard with people pictured above) at this fine source:

https://journal.classiccars.com/2018/06/01/1906-packard-model-s-gentlemans-sports-car/#:~:text=The%20car%20features%20a%20four,rated%20at%2024%20taxable%20horsepower.&text=The%20actual%20output%20of%20the%20Model%2024%20was%20about%2040%20horsepower.

The closest I have come to this one is not very close, even though it's a fine model. That is the 1912 PACKARD VICTORIA, 1:24, by FRANKLIN MINT Precision Models (China, 1990). I just can't get it into my display case alongside my other Packards (probably because they are all 1:43 scale)!
