Eric Macleod Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I don't know if I ever posted this one here. If so we'll call it a Classic Redeux. Lots of sanding and filler in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Macleod Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 The goal for this model was to make it look box stock when in fact it was basically scratch built from the fenders up. A fun but lengthy project it is the fourth in my set of five Packard 734's. The fifth, a Speedster Victoria is forthcoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggie427 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Stunningly beautiful ! A tribute to a period of automotive history when American cars were generally the quality standard of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) The goal for this model was to make it look box stock when in fact it was basically scratch built from the fenders up. A fun but lengthy project it is the fourth in my set of five Packard 734's. The fifth, a Speedster Victoria is forthcoming. The Speedsters 734 were a special high performance, high everything that came in only had five body styles. It was so exclusive, only 113 were made across the five body styles. Actually 118, counting Eric's.Can we see the others? Edited November 13, 2015 by landman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Macleod Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Here is the 734 Speedster Roadster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Macleod Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 And her is the 734 Speedster Phaeton. Odd as it may sound I can't remember what I did wit the Speedster Runabout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Was the roadster cratchbuilt too? I only reember the phaeton & runabout in kit form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Macleod Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Yes you are correct. it was a scratch built car as well. I used the Runabout body from the doors forward and a Monogram '30 model A coupe for the turtle deck. It is not perfect but plays the part well. That is why the Speedster Victoria will be a little while before it sees light of day. It will also be scratch built but I haven't figured out how to build it yet. I am a bit weird because I am so into sets of things. I built the Roadster first, then the Phaeton then the Sedan. I couldn't just leave the set unfinished. I want to build one more Speedster Runabout as mine really is no longer up to the standard of the other thee models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Here's the three I have, two are the kit ones obviously. The racer was made out of a plated version someone gave me as a gift.You got me thinking now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Macleod Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Very nice. I especially like the racer. I have thought of doing something along that line with a Duesenberg but have not gotten it done. This is inspiring. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
