Dinky Toys 132 Packard Convertible

The Dinky Toys 132 Packard Convertible is a classic model produced by Meccano between 1955 and 1960. This miniature is based on the luxury Packard cars of the 1950s, a period when Packard was known for its stylish and luxurious vehicles that were particularly popular in America. The Packard Convertible reflects the timeless, elegant design of these cars, which were synonymous with comfort, performance and class. Packard was known for its technical innovations and refinement, and the Dinky Toys replica perfectly captured these characteristics in miniature form.

The Dinky Toys model of the Packard Convertible is manufactured to a scale of 1:43 and features an open roof, allowing the luxurious cabin to be clearly visible. The model was usually produced in vibrant colours such as red, cream or light green, which were typical of the 1950s. The flowing lines of the bodywork and the stylish details, such as the chrome grille and bumpers, have been reproduced with great precision. Dinky Toys was known for its craftsmanship, and the Packard Convertible was a perfect example of their dedication to creating realistic and durable toy cars.

The model in question is in a played-with condition, meaning that the model shows clear signs of wear and tear that are typical of toys from that era. Despite these signs, the Packard Convertible remains a charming and authentic collector's item, especially for enthusiasts who value the history and nostalgia of played-with models. The model comes with a reproduction of the original box, which is of high quality and has been carefully recreated to reflect the original design. The box not only provides protection, but also adds to the presentation of the model.
