Howard, unfortunately I'm too busy at the moment to comment in detail. It looks Packardlike: solid, clear design, no gimmickry.

 Scandalous! These Germans! Use metric systems, talk German, live far away from USA, ... egregious!  Sometimes a conversion chart is helpful. --> conversion chart 1 --> conversion chart 2

Howard, good question. To quote the owner:

Dave, when's the last time a compression test was made?  [picture source:http://www.thejunction.de/zwiegespraech/2008/07/15/liquid-interaction-00579]

Toyota can do better than to mimic Packard
by Jack Teahan "I wish Toyota would stop. I refer to the ad that urges the public to "Ask someone you know who drives one." It's a direct echo of the immortal Packard theme, "Ask the man who owns one," which put the Packard automobile on the map. Packard, which first saw the light of day in 1899, was the nation's best-selling luxury car from 1924 to 1949. I criticized Toyota's twist on Packard's theme in a column a year ago last March. But Toyota continues to use it; I continue to be ticked off, and when I'm ticked off, I yell. With all its money and with all its talent, both in-house and in-ad-agency, I expect something better from Toyota. Packard's "Ask the man who owns one" is one of the all-time great ad lines. It ranks with "Watch the Fords go by" and Dinah Shore's "See the U.S.A. in your Chevrolet." Let it rest, Toyota. Fortunately, others have resisted ads exhorting "Watch the Hondas go by" or "See the U.S.A. in your Nissan A" (for Altima)."

...Wish the pictures were a bit sharper and showed a bit more. Sorry Dave, I already did my very best. Mike, the visible BMW magazine tells me, that you are the owner of the little red Packy. Now comes another Packardlike car, this time it uses a Toyota platform. According to this source it is a "...1985 Paragon Sedan - an attempt to revive Packard using Toyota chassis..."

Dave, thanks.
Once upon a time Japan was Packard country. The following photograph shows the Packard headquarters in Tokyo, 1932.  "...Building signs written in Japanese, sign on building reads 'Packard,' four men standing in front of building, two cars parked on street."

Well, it was definitely too much and at the moment we don't like more detailed news from Japan.
Ok, that makes me even more determined to do it! Please find attached a nice Japanese toycar and don't miss to see the magazines on the hatrack. [picture source:http://www.toyzine.com/auctions/serioustoys-auction-2008-05.htm] Attach file: (41.23 KB)
