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:

@moe-parr NICE Barry!  These three were well done for their era.

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