1930 Packard 7-34 Speedster

This 1930 Packard 7-34 Speedster features a scratch built body, wheels and trim on a shortened 1/18 scale Hubley Duesenberg platform. The body is carved rom wood, except for the opening metal hood. There is a replica of the straight eight L head Packard engine under the hood. The wheels are turned on a Taig micro-lathe and threaded with 56 nichrome wire spokes each. The trim is brass, plated using the Caswell "brush" electroplating system with their "copychrome" solution.
