A few years ago, I was researching a model or two and came across a bit of info about this model with a photo. The color combination was incredible. As it turns out, it was not too long after that, that I came across this one on eBay. After a successful auction win, it was mine.

1956 Packard 400 Hardtop Coupe, a LE #16 of 50 by Mini-Marque 43 in Norwegian Forest and Shannon Green

Last summer I came across this one on eBay. The model has been modified from a Brooklin, BRK 66. The original release has been a part of my collection for quite some time, being one of the 1st Brooklin models I bought. The BCC version joined my collection a few years later. I don't know who crafted this modification, but it looks good in this pale yellow. (Thanks to Mo Brown for the replacement hood ornament)
