Yes, it lacks the chrome detail yet for its time it was an excellent rendition of America’s most pricey production car that with the only option available—air conditioning—sold for just north of $10,000 a copy.

And from what I read was delivered in a velvet or something other lined bag....
What an amazingly cool Brooklin 1/43 white metal Continental ! The subject cannot be beat and these automobiles display very well. I have a white and a black 1956 Continental in 1/18 from Yat Ming Signature and these are real favorites.
@100ford2003 Yes. I have a book on Lincoln issued by Ford which gives a detailed history of Continental, including the fact that it was delivered in a velvet bag.
@100ford2003@charles-rockett Oh, I thought the Brooklin was delivered in a velvet bag! But you mean the real one! I guess that was a marketing mistake at Brooklin! 😉 😎

Those Yat Mings are very well done. Do you have their Lincoln also ?

No, I don't have that one. I had gotten the Ricko Continental, but sadly a few years later, inter-granular corrosion caused it's loss.
That's something, with their white metal construction, that the Brooklin 1/43 replicas don't suffer from. They still look great after all these years !

I wasn't satisfied with the color that the Rickos came in that's why I opted for the blue one from Yat Ming. It came nicely packaged just like the MK II.
