Roden: 1941 Packard Clipper in 1:35 [1070815]

The Packard Clipper was an American passenger car introduced in 1941 by the Packard Motor Car Company, a leading manufacturer of luxury cars since the early 20th Century. Up to February 1942, about 16,000 cars of this brand were produced, but after the United States entered World War II and most private manufacturers became involved in fulfilling military orders, the company was reorganized for the production of Packard Merlin aircraft engines, licensed copies of one of the best engines of its time, the Rolls Royce Merlin.
A significant number of vehicles of this type were bought by the army and were used both domestically and overseas in numerous theaters of conflict as personal vehicles for senior officers. At least two Packard Clippers became particularly famous because they were used by two of the nation's most famous military leaders, General Dwight D. Eisenhower and General Douglas MacArthur. After the end of the Second World War, new restyled Packard Clippers were produced by the company, although in significantly smaller quantities than on the eve of the war.
