landman Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 They sure come in handy. One day i was at my daughter's and there were some Legos lying around. So I asked my grandson how much he wanted for them He said $2.,. So I gave him $5. They ave paid for themselves many times over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Macleod Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 That last Packard sedan in black, silver and red is outstanding, though I like the Lincoln as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I just read through this entire post and love the project you have going here. I have a couple of these 20's vehicles to do someday although I am certain mine will be more OOB. My vote is for one of the last two paint schemes you posted (I really like the third). Now, time to go BACK to sleep....hopefully! Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 Looking at how to match or terminate the body's character lines. The spares are made. It looks like the only thing required to turn a Duesenberg interior into a Packard interior is a Packard dashboard. Since there will not be a division window I'll have to close that gap somehow.

landman Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Cut the piece that stuck up and laid it down, then gave it some piping to provide a more finished look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Macleod Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Simple, and it seems to work seamlessly in there. I'm impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the only thing required to turn a Duesenberg interior into a Packard interior is a Packard dashboard. Since there will not be a division window I'll have to close that gap somehow. Could I suggest one of three ways to address the character line issue. The first would be to add an extra line of moulding under the body moulding and carry that back to the C pillar. Then cut it upwards where the existing moulding ends. Maybe too fussy? If so, how about simply removing the moulding from the Packard hood? Or raise it to match where the moulding ends at the cowl?

charlie8575 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 The olive/ochre/khaki Packard Victoria is interesting. The last Packard in black and silver would look nice, too. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 Removed the character line from the side of the hood. Started working on the interior...and yes, the dash will get dusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I'm still following along and I'm still amazed! In the decade I've been a part of this community I've learned more from threads like this than probably any other source. Thank you for taking the time to share the process with us. David G.

Richard Bartrop Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Not everyone wanted whitewalls back then, and it wasn't always about economics. Here's an ad for a Cadillac V-16, and this body was the most expensive one you could get for that year. Clearly the folks at GM thought it looked just fine without them.

landman Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Now should I put whitewalls on one side and blackwalls on the other side and turn the model around periodically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
