1936/37 Packard 12 Sportster

[Don Noyes]

A question that someone might know,

I am repairing an old model of a 1/16 Packard. My question is does anyone know how the luggage rack attach to the car.  I have a few pieces of the linkage but I can tell it isn't complete. I'm not sure of the manufacturer or when it was made.  Could have come from Canada. I'm hoping someone has a picture or instructions to see how it goes together so I can make the pieces needed.

Thank you Don Noyes

It could be either a Bandai kit, released in 1975

 

or an Entex rebox also released in the '70s.

 

I can't find the instructions online; however, you could check out the pics of finished model and see if the parts you have match those seen on this one.

I don't know if this will help, but here's a pic with the rack in the stowed position

And another showing the in-use position. I found these on Google.

Here’s the only pics in the instructions. Now that I dug it out I might start it, they are very nice kits.

Thank you. This is awesome and something I can work with to make it work.

Funny, I looked at both my 1/16 Packards and they don't have the luggage rack. I must not have installed them. Both are the Entex versions, convertible and formal sedan.

Just bought an Entex Coupe Roadster on eBay. Looking forward to getting it. In my opinion, this was when Packard was at its peak. Both in styling and engineering.
