About the Packard Henney Black BoS Models 1:18
TL;DR: BoS Models' 1:18 diecast Packard Henney in black reproduces a rare 1952 American professional car, built by the Henney Motor Company on Packard chassis underpinnings. At around 24cm, it suits collectors specifically pursuing unusual coachbuilt and commercial-vehicle subjects.
Henney built specialty vehicles, hearses and ambulances chief among them, using Packard's chassis and running gear, a coachbuilding arrangement that produced cars unlike anything in a standard Packard sedan lineup.
A Specialist Manufacturer's Approach to a Rare Subject
BoS Models has built its reputation on exactly this kind of overlooked automotive history, and this Henney's elongated body and formal proportions reflect the coachbuilder's need to extend a standard Packard platform for specialized commercial use. Black is the historically dominant color for this class of professional vehicle, appropriate given the car's original working purpose, and the diecast finish carries enough depth to show the extended bodywork's proportions clearly. Construction favors accurate, faithful body detail over opening-feature complexity, a sensible choice for a manufacturer specializing in low-volume, historically obscure subjects where reference material is genuinely scarce. This is diecast built for research-level accuracy on a niche corner of automotive history, not mass-market appeal.
A Corner of Automotive History Most Collections Skip
Professional cars, the hearses, ambulances, and flower cars built on passenger platforms, represent a genuinely distinct branch of American automotive manufacturing that mainstream diecast rarely touches, which makes a dedicated specialist like BoS Models valuable to collectors chasing this specific niche. The Packard chassis underneath gives this Henney real engineering pedigree, distinct from the coachbuilt body layered on top of it. For a collector building a display around coachbuilt or commercial vehicle history, rather than conventional passenger cars, this is a genuinely distinctive and hard-to-find subject.
