I agree

Looks like one that was for sale down the road a few years ago. I remember that one. It was beutiful!

Thank you! They are beutiful cars! I have a few of the old Johan Cadillac V16s. And Monogram V16 Cadillac. And the monogram boat tail speedster and monogram cord.

I have the boat tail version to. I just have not built it yet.

I started this build at the end of February. I just finished it today. I fully detailed the Straight 8 engine with gofer plug wires. Fully detailed the interior and under carriage. Basically i detailed everything. Paint is rattle can Tamiya gloss Maroon with brush painted Testors gloss black for the body trim. The fenders i left the molded light brown i just polished them up. I used some left over rattle can model master textured fabric tan for the top, boot and spare tire wraps. And i used dark brown kens kustom fuzzi fur for the carpeting. And i scratchbuilt the edges of the door sill plates out of strip styrene. I chose the optional Packard stone guard grill and made some valve stems from scratch to. Also i scratchbuilt some floor mats from sheet styrene. Otherwise tight from the box. It represents a real one well i think.

I was happy to do it my friend!

That is sharp! Love your paint job. And the bumper looks great. Cant even tell there was any damage. Beutiful Galaxie

I like it!

My finds today.

Yes it did! It was cracked badly on drivers seat but otherwise good shape. Body was rusty and paint was all faded. Landau vinyl top was in decent shape. I found wire hubcaps at local junk yard off a fifth avenue. I drove it daily year round. But it was cool. Floated down the road.

Looks cool! And neat how you used the slant 6. I owned a Cordoba from 08 to 10 with slant 6 they are a tough durable engine.

I want to get this Packard kit also. I have a Auburn boat tail speedster kit to in my unbuilt kit stash. The Packard's were beutiful cars.

Thank you for this!

I like how you always put your cars on turn table and often put music to the display.

Anytime

I love what you did with it Michelle! Awesome paint job. And i like the Cragar mag wheels. Good choice of interior color also. I am glad we did the trade! Beutiful Dodge?

I like the brown with maroon i think that will be nice. I do like that shade of green on a lot of 1970s land yachts but it fits those body styles well. Like Olds Deltas and Chevy Impala's. The kit is very nice! High quality. I paid 10$ for it 2 years ago at model car show in Warren MI. Great deal.

I decided on Maroon for the body. And im going to polish up the fenders and leave them the brown.

Im on fence what to paint body or if i should leave it green and paint trim gloss black and also leave the fenders brown. Or if i should paint both something different. Cool thing is they offered almost unlimited paint options in them.

I actually kind of like the green. Ya the TD Trantuala was molded in that color green.

Thanks

They were like the Cadillac V16s you could custom order paint colors. Basically its like a lime green and rust brown. But i just wondered if Packard had a name for them.

Does anyone know what Packard would of called these colors the Monogram kit is molded in?
