Die Cast by Franklin Mint. Previously owned Franklin Mint model car. #8
Includes certification documentation.
After earning a good reputation for reliability, style, and performance with its small, light cars, Packard moved into the growing luxury car market, then dominated by European car makers. With its superb craftsmanship, spare-no-expense materials, advanced engineering and elegant style, the Packard quickly became one of America’s premier automobiles, a position it held until the Second World War. This particular automobile is equipped with a rare custom body by Demarest & Company of New York. There are only about 10-12 of these cars running today.
Mrs. Theodate Pope Riddle, one of America’s foremost female architects, originally owned this custom-built car. Soon after being given the Packard by her father, she took it with her on a trip through England and Scotland. At the time the only means of transportation from southern to northern Scotland was by ferryboat, which could not accommodate the car. Undaunted, Ms. Pope hired a group of local workmen to build a raft and tow the car across the loch.
