132 Packard Convertible (1955-63)

Hi, so you have listed 45 errors to date but not many for 'supertoys' Whilst re-reading the first of two of Robs articles on his wonderful Foden collection I noticed a reference to the all red with black chassis (top photo page 13 of April 2017 journal) I have I think found another under various coats of house paint, a red 501 wagon without tow hook, complete with an almost perfect set of 'herringbone tyres. A slight variation to Robs find is mine has black ridged hubs. I am not aware of any Foden having black hubs ever and not during 1947/8. build time frame. The only model I can remember during that time using black hubs I think was one or more of the 39 series American saloons. Now being 72 I may have it totally wrong. No reason to think this model has ever been stripped or rebuilt apart from the paint issue, axle clips/staples are original and can be used again. The model has a perfect casting with no damage and is in excellent condition. I am keeping the 'original colours' which will include the black hubs, chassis, with red body and cab including the silver flash. Your thoughts and comments would be of grear help as I always enclose a brief history of my models and are kept in the numbered boxes. Collection now stands at 120, with 40 being rebuilds all with repo. boxes. The remaining originals about half have original boxes and repo. for the rest. Kind regards Chris Instance.578.

Jan, Thank you for the tip but it's out of budget ! Richard
