Volunteers at the November meeting came away with quite a bit of free stuff, including Brooklin cups, tee shirts, and caps.
Also included was a BRK 224 1953 Ford Customline, rumored to have been over-produced just as before a Brooklin management change occurred. But the box makes this a little bit more collectable than the standard issue.
I've already posted about the very nice 1947 Chrysler Town and Country. But here are pics of its packaging, including a card signed at the NB Center (was it by Keith Flickinger - can't make it out). I'm guessing this card will not be in models purchased since. The booklet inside confirms that this was indeed a mostly unrestored car.
Besides the Chrysler, I bought the NB Center Sinclair gas pump island replica. It has no Brooklin number on the box and I am unaware if it is an LE or not. I wish the light unit at the top of the sign had been modeled though. Until Brooklin decides to make the Ford next to the real pumps, I will have to use my Matchbox pickup to keep it company.

Harv; That well appointed Ford pickup would look great in a snowy "service call" diorama.

Great pics, Harv. Thanks. Keith Flickinger signed the NB CEnter cards. That's Simon's signature on the numbered Brooklin cards.

@jkuvakas Thanks JK - I thought it could be but doesn't look anything like his name.

Does anyone know, if there are any plans to make more gas pumps with either Sinclair or other graphics?

What is the height of the Sinclair ensigne?
