1/22 4859 Hubley 1930 Packard Sport Phaeton
Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
From the late 1960s/ early '70s and part of an incredibly popular line of classic cars by Hubley. It is very well detailed inside and out. Features 137 pieces, excellent and detailed cast-metal body, chassis, hood, engine and other detail parts with injection molded details, clear parts, a large tree of chrome plated parts, full rolling chassis just like the real car with excellent engine detail, complete exhaust and suspension, working steering, removable hood, flexible radiator hoses, rubber tires, chrome spoke wheels, working worm-gear steering, full interior detail with thin clear windshields and special interior side panels. NOTE: this kit has very minor and neat assembly as noted: engine halves, head and one small engine chrome piece are assembled to 'professional' quality. Also, the steering box cover is painted black. There is no other assembly or painting; however, one screw is broken off in the rear differential (where a suspension spring is attached; I would either drill it out or simply epoxy the spring to the differential). The model has been inventoried complete including decals, special interior side panel 'upholstery' and instructions. In the 1930s Packard was the style leader in America and a beautiful, fast status symbol. Packards were not the most expensive, but were the most desired cars. The 1930s Packards are seen as the high point of the brand.
