In its heyday, Brooklin released models of cars ranging from exotic to top of the line to entry level cars such as a ‘53 Ford 4door sedan, or a ‘56 Plymouth Plaza, or a ‘58 Chevrolet Yeoman wagon, an Aero Willys 2 door, or a Kaiser Manhattan or Henry J. New models were introduced on a regular basis at prices that many of us could afford. Customer care was a hallmark of Brooklin Models. Yes, I get it as times change but still I miss those days. I take pleasure in the Brooklin’s that I have collected over the past 43 years or so. Were not hearing much from Brooklin Models these days.

@david-knight I agree David, they were really enjoyable days that most could afford. I attended several Brooklin anniversary get togethers in Bath many years ago and have wonderful memories of those weekend events and the collectors and other associated people I met.
@david-knight I couldn't agree more, David!
The Brooklins, to me, have a certain charm and "warmth" to them that the admittedly more precise modern resin models just can't match.
Here's my T-Bird in a red, white and blue display combination that I think works particularly well:

Those are three of my favorites as well. And I agree about the charm and warmth of Brooklins.
