That is quicker carrier time than some packages going across country. I am enamored with this car. I'm very pleased to add it to my collection. I must also say in my opinion it is also quite photogenic. Especially with some other great 50s luxury automobiles from varies other brands. I think it was described as red, but to me it looks more of a pink orange, possibly called Sardonyx, given the 1955 Packard color chart I searched for online. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

https://desmoines.craigslist.org/tag/5614985016.html This seller has a bunch for sale. I'd send him an offer, but I don't know what I would do with all of them. |

You have highlighted one of the coolest Yat Ming castings and perhaps my favourite, the '55 Packard Caribbean. I believe the colours are Fire Opal, Onyx Black and White Jade. This combination was also found on the Yat Ming (Road Signature) 1/18 scale '55 Caribbean. I display the two side-by-side. Thanks for the cool pics. Nice diorama! The Road Signature '57 Chrysler you also have is a nice find. It's not easy to locate the stock versions. |

That's actually Ertl's 57 Chrysler. From their American Muscle Series. |

I also ran across a seller from China that I bought many of these Yatming castings I never knew existed. He went by the user ID of sellerrui... Great deals on items,shipping and incredibly fast shipping... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I found one of my life~long holy grails from him as well. These 1963 Ford Falcons... ![]()
