The Classic One Forty Three Packard Production Sample has arrived! It looks great! A few minor modifications and this awesome model will be ready for production.
What do you think?

Had several family friends that owned Packard's. Always liked their styling. This has a great color combo. I can see it selling out.

Years ago I worked for a Corporation that the Treasurer was a HUGE Packard guy. Brought me a 37' with a straight eight to work on after I had to go get it off the highway where it stopped. Blew a main crank bearing. Let me tell you that you have NO idea how long a straight eight Packard block is. Only One machine shop in the area had a table long enough to jig it and line bore the bearings (they are poured babbit). I loved that Packard and loved working on it.

Fantastic and thank you Emile for the status. No rush for me during the heat of the summer but looking forward to populate my train modules during the Christmas season.
Just out of curiosity, are these still available to purchase/reserve?
As for the images of the car itself, I think it looks fantastic with the added chrome trim to set off against the cream and red color. So happy it was not white and red. The cream gives it a more rich look.
Thanks again.
Charlie

We ordered extra models for our members who may not have seen this before. The price will be super reasonable.
Adam, Emile and I were the OGF Design Team for this project. I am so proud of these members.
