I had posted pictures of this car on the old Forum 43 but here it is again on the present Forum.  It is a replica beautifully done by John Roberts of our neighbor’s car in Lenox, Massachusetts back in 1957. I remember the day they took delivery.  Its replica is shown here in several settings at home and on Martha’s Vineyard. Shown with it is Brooklin’s standard model in Larkspur Blue/India Ivory.  That Colonial Cream with an Onyx Black top is one of the most beautiful color schemes of that era.

That is a beautiful color combination, and as you said-one of the best of the 50s. Those are great photos, David. I love the ones in the snow.

John, as you can see it took many revisions to get that post the way I wanted it.  I had a heck of a time finding a picture of an actual car to include, arranging pictures in sequence and eliminating typos took a number of tries.

Well done, David.  Your fine presentations set a high standard for the forum.  As for me, I'll just keep clicking and hoping.

Later.  I just looked at my poor photos above, and as a result made a quick trip to the workshop.  See the improvement?
