Henney built Packard’s long wheelbase models including ambulances and hearses as well as limousines although a good number of these cars were actually built by Briggs. Packard’s 1948 models were initially applauded then quickly ridiculed as the short-lived ‘bath-tub’ style fell out of favour. Christened by some as ‘the pregnant elephant’ these cars were beautifully crafted in the traditional Packard way and the long-wheelbase cars found favour with heads of state and other dignitaries. Available in the new collectors box

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as BROOKLIN MODELS LIMITED, number 09580519. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
Foreign-owned
Majority ownership sits in Italy, with Mr Nicola Bulgari. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
