Saw this Red '37 Buick (BC005) on the Brooklin corporate facebook page. I like the convertible sedan body style - especially with the top-up.
(here's hoping that Brooklin will someday revise their '41 Buick CS and add an up-top)
Late '70's Ford Thunderbird by American Excellence/NEO (44783). An edition of 500 for Model Car World. I've been looking for this one for a while. The White/Red version is closer to how the 1:1's were back in the day - but I like this better.
(at 1100px wide the manufacturing defects sure do stand out)
Brooklin '57 Oldsmobile Super 88 in White (BRK175). Not a big fan of two-tone paint jobs, I've lusted after one of these for a while. A big shout-out to Moe Parr for pointing out the excellent price at Diecast Direct.
The new Avenue 43 GM Motorama Cutlass concept car from 1954 (60066). Why am I a bit squeamish calling the Motorama concepts by their divisional names? Anyway, this came from Burbank's. Same price on eBay or their website (1% Rakuten cash-back from eBay).
As an added attraction, here's the Cutlass with its more full-figured sister. The Golden Rocket from 1956 (by autocult in 2018, 06020).
Before I leave, two books on the GM Motorama:
And:
Take care everyone!

A great post. I love the T-Bird in those colors. Brooklin '38 Buick Special Phaeton is on sale right now.

Nice post John. My Olds should be here any day now, to be paired with my Golden Rocket.

...Here's one of mine.
Did you chrome foil - or paint - the hub caps on your sidemounts?
