It's pretty much a solid casting, not a body shell like most models. Weights over 1lb. Just has a small sheet metal plate on the bottom that captures the axles. No markings what so ever. I think it was a prototype or something. Detail is pretty good. Right down to the backup lights in the rear.
The eBay Ad described it as the following: "1954 Packard Clipper Banthrico 1/25 scale promo" Approx 8" bumper to bumper.

Hey Kev,
Did you get a chance to contact Scott at Deluxe Auto Werks about your transmission install?

Much work accomplished on the transmission today.
Following Ross's recommendation, I added some heat dissipating "speed holes" to the bellhousing. The hole saw I bought made short work of it. Does anyone need 6 cast iron washers? lol I also replaced that front seal that I drove in too deep. Here are markings on that seal for later reference. I was also able to completely disassemble the control assembly. The rear upper and lower and front control assemblies were taken fully apart, cleaned, prelubed and reassembled. I also made two changes that Ross suggested. Trimming one spring and shimming another. Just need to go through the brake assemblies next.

That's only of the brake control assembly. I can't remember if that one is the low or reverse control.
