One of Brooklin’s early models was the 1960 Ford Galaxy convertible, BRK.37. Finished in a beautiful Orchid Gray Poly, while it lacks the current level of detail, it is still a very nice model of a 1960 Ford.

A really nice older model done by Brooklin ! The colors are beautiful and not often seen on replicas. I have Ertl's 1/18 of the hardtop Starliner in white although many of these have been lost to diecast inter-granular corrosion. It is a great subject for modelmakers in all scales.

That is a nice model for its time. This is one of the older models, which I wish Brooklin would re-do.

Hi all, I posted theses photos comparing the pinkish color to the OEM Lilac. Since this post showcases this Ford, I thought the reprise would be interesting. Thanks

I’m wondering if possibly the top up/top down car could be Beechwood Brown by poly, also a 1960 color. Nice model by the way. Is that a special edition?

The 1960 Ford convertible by Brooklin slid down into the affordability level so I acquired an extra one that became a Galaxie sedan. Shown also with a Genuine Ford Parts Starliner hardtop, a GE Fabbri Ranch Wagon, and a Premium X Country Squire.
