dr: Thanks for posting the picture of the registration card. It is always nice to find something original like that, when you have purchased a car.


The automobile manufacturer I was referring to was Martini,
which produced autos from 1897 to 1933. Captain H.H.P. Deasy
was the agent for Martini in England.

That certainly is a nice model done by the Danbury Mint. I wish that the Danbury and Franklin mints would sell thier models in kit form. I find that the better than $130 prices for thier models is more than I am going to pay.

Brian, perhaps you should buy one and have it professionally repainted in your car's color scheme!

She's a beauty!

The only thing better would be one in the color scheme of my own Hardtop car.

In case you missed it, Danbury Mint released its latest 1:24 scale precision diecast yesterday, and it was a terrific surprise for those of us who love the V8 Packards.

Here's the full review and photos of the new 1956 Packard Caribbean hardtop at www.diecast.org:

Thanks again to Howard for his work on scanning these all in!

Thanks to Howard's hardwork. The Paint Schema section is online. The upholstery section is too follow soon.

The paint schemas are for illustration purposes only, and the real color samples are on the last page of the paint section.

Thanks again Howard!

I vote "yea" on the 56 color and upholstery book. And a big Thank You to Mr. Hanson.

1956....sorry..

On the PAC website, interiors codes 33 and 53 are both for green cloth with green imitation leather, which is what my car has, but according to the master list, only codes 61, 62, 63, 69, 72, 73, 75, 79, 162, 163, 165 and 169 were available??!!
