This collection is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to offer the most notable models of this prestigious American brand. Regularly updating the inventory allows for the discovery of new models on a regular basis.

The majority of available Packard Models are produced in 1/43rd scale , the reference format for collectors. You will also find some pieces in 1/24th and 1/18th scales, allowing you to appreciate even more the details of these exceptional automobiles. A few models in HO scale (1/87th) occasionally complete this selection.

Each model is available in limited quantities , usually between one and two copies. This relative rarity reflects the exclusive nature of these reproductions and guarantees the authenticity of your collection. All models presented correspond exactly to the stocks available at the time of your visit.

This collection brings together various vehicle categories that have marked Packard's history. You'll discover prestigious sedans from the 1930s and 1940s, the brand's golden era, as well as limousines that equipped the most influential figures of the era.

Packard convertibles occupy a special place in this selection, testifying to the American art of living in the 1930s and 1940s . These models perfectly embody the spirit of luxury and refinement that characterized this exceptional brand.

Packard's Prestigious History

Founded in 1899 by brothers James Ward and William Doud Packard, the Packard Motor Car Company quickly became synonymous with luxury and innovation in the American automotive industry. Based in Detroit, the brand distinguished itself through its relentless pursuit of technical excellence and careful attention to detail.

During its heyday, from the 1920s to the 1950s, Packard competed directly with Cadillac, Lincoln, and Chrysler Imperial in the luxury segment. The brand was particularly renowned for its technically sophisticated V8 and V12 engines , as well as for its elegant bodywork designed by the best designers of the time.

Packard's golden age was the 1930s , when the company produced some of the finest automobiles in the world. The Super Eight and Twelve models from this era remain the gold standard for luxury automobiles today.

Packard and the Golden Age of the American Automobile

A striking anecdote perfectly illustrates Packard's prestige: the brand was so renowned that it gave rise to the popular American expression "Ask the man who owns one." This advertising slogan, which has become legendary, testified to the absolute confidence Packard owners had in their automobile.

The brand was also the preferred choice of many influential figures, from Hollywood stars to wealthy businessmen. Franklin D. Roosevelt used a Packard as his presidential vehicle, further reinforcing the brand's prestigious image.

This cultural dimension makes Packard much more than just a car brand: it embodies an art of living and an era when the automobile was considered a true rolling art object.
