About Brooklin's BC 013, the '36 Special pictured on This Week's Photos:
The casting looks fantastic. The grille is beautifully reproduced. The color? Autocolor Library lists two blues, Muskateer Blue and Trouville Blue though they are just listed, not pictured. I am wondering if the color shown on the prototype is the final color selection and if so, which of these blues it might possibly be. Brooklin is always so careful to use authentic colors. I had hoped it might be a darker color such as those so typical of the era. The first of my father's cars that I can remember was this Buick in a gunmetal gray. Does anybody know about Brooklin's final choice of color for BC 013 or about this particular shade of blue shown on the test assembly model pictured?
