1930 Packard Victoria Matelic Golden Y-15

1930 Packard Victoria – Metallic Gold

A grand American luxury car from the Models of Yesteryear collection, this Y-15 recreates the 1930 Packard Victoria in a metallic gold colour scheme. Its long bonnet, formal passenger body, luggage trunk and ornate brightwork give the miniature the stately presence associated with Packard's prestige automobiles.

Matchbox Models of Yesteryear Y-15

The Y-15/2 Packard Victoria entered the range in 1969 and had an unusually long production life. Collector references document early metallic-brown cars, a metallic lime-gold/gold period, a later black-and-red scheme and finally cream-and-brown issues. The casting remained in production into the 1980s.

Luxury Coachwork and Bright Trim

The Packard was detailed with a plated grille and headlamps, windscreen frame, luggage rack and multi-spoke wheels. Separate roof, seats and rear luggage components add visual depth to the formal Victoria body style.

Metallic Gold Colour Variation

The metallic gold finish belongs to the Y-15 family's succession of colour treatments. Paint shade, chassis colour, coachline and wheel details can help collectors distinguish different production runs.

A Classic Collectible

A substantial display piece for a Matchbox, Lesney, Packard or American-classic collection, the Y-15 combines elegant 1930s styling with one of the longer and more varied production histories in the Models of Yesteryear range.
