Mislabeling results in an opportunity: 1950 Pacemaker on Ebay

This "Packard Pacemaker" looks like a bargain , with the bidding up to only $2,075.00 and four days left on the auction.  Somebody goofed when they listed it, and anyone trolling for Hudson offerings at Ebay, may miss this one!

    Well, it's gotta be the rarest Packard on the planet.  A one of one.  I wouldn't buy it just 'cause it looks like they stole the design from Hudson.

    A Packard Pacemaker is possible - I have a model of a 1951 Chrysler Hornet, so why not a Packard Pacemaker.

    Yeah, I think I bought that kit at least 10 year ago.  Any die cast Hudson model (at least the 1:24's) produced after Chrysler bought out AMC will have Chrysler Corporation on the bottom somewhere - usually on the frame rail.
    I just looked at the large Marsh Teague model I have and it says Chrysler Corporation on the left frame rail.
