Packard Landaulet 1912

Phil Marchese
There was a Germany company who issued the kit between the time Heller and Smer did. It was at that time the kit acquired the separate wheels with rubber tires. It may be where the landaulet top was first molded as a separate part with separate irons too.

This kit is a fourth generation of the Hudson Miniature Series Two Lil Ol Timer from Scranton Pa. The kit probably made its way to eastern europe via Heller who in turn accquiried the REVELL GB molds. Revell issued the kit as a Highway Pioneer but not in the USA. The kit is a Packard N 18 while the Pyro is the U 30, a larger car in real life. Both the N & U had a short (S) version for the Coupes and Runabouts. My short N 18 runabout built by conversion of the SMER kit is in the auto section of ARC.
