Topic starter  

Back in 2013, Brooklin came out with a recolored Rambler wagon in Gotham gray and sierra peach. It was a striking combo (nicer than the first release IMHO) but I wasn’t into buying models just because of a color change - even if it was a wagon. Well, by the time I came around to really wanting it, it became increasingly hard to find, which made me want it even more.

Skip ahead to about a month ago and I see one come up for sale. The asking price wasn’t out of line, but that shipping from England was painfully steep. The seller went through a couple Buy It Now cycles with no takers so I reached out to see if we could strike a mutually beneficial deal. He knocked $20 off the price and I snapped it up. One more holy grail checked off the list!

That's been on my radar for a long time.  They're pretty pricey now.  Congratulations on your find!

That is gorgeous, congratulations on your long sought-after addition to your collection!

By coincidence, I just bought the two-tone blue one at a good price. Looking forward to receiving it soon.

Randy, that is great that you were able to go acquire the pearl of great price at a lower price!  That Rambler in those colors is so ‘50’s. It’s a beautiful car. There is nothing quite like unboxing a Brooklin after a long search. Congratulations!
