42 olds wagon
I like the original too. Your conversion really adds zip to the original. How did you do the visor?
A number 14 hit in 1975 here in the UK, for the Biddu Orchestra.
The eIIisification of Brooklin models knows no bounds John. Another superb example of your "wrecking" skills.
Nice work John - the colors work really well.
WHOA! That is amazing, what a beautiful transformation. You did amazing work here.
Although, I'd be inclined to skip the visor-not always a fan. But the color you chose really makes this one pop.

Very nice job.Love the additions including the spotlight. Brooklin models have such great potential as you have just proven.
Beautiful work, John. That visor really sets it apart.

Well done, John. Your skills, added to Brooklin's fine original, have produced a special Olds wagon. This is really a keeper. And thanks for posting it!
John,for me the sunvisor is from Pete Kenna Austin

Outstanding! The wood trim looks especially realistic.
I have a couple of models with visors, they are definitely one of those love it or hate things.
The Pontiac should look incredible. It is a big favorite model of mine, I like it even more than the Oldsmobile. Can't wait to see it.

Beautiful job once again John. I notice the lower grille isn't done in the body color as per the Brooklin. Is there two ways this application was done by Oldsmobile in reality? I much prefer the lower grille the way you have it.
