[Closed] Actually won an eBay bid, got a BRK 9 Marque Products.

Congratulations, Dick. I discovered several years ago I was not psychologically fit to bid on ebay. I tried to bid on a Willys station wagon by US Model mint to add to my two other duplicates, because even three of these were not enough. I bid $376.01 which was a hundred more than anybody else. I was sure it was mine. I sat and watched as at the very last second somebody outbid me. My wife was ecstatic.

Wow Dick, of the few Brooklins I own or once owned, that was one of them

I got rid of all my #9 Fords because the shape was so bad (particularly the hood).

Marque Products... Those were the days

It was from Marque Products that I bought my first Brooklins back in 1981. Actually made a long distance call to California to order it. I can still remember the voice that answered the phone, "Marque Products." Who was that nice guy?

It might have been Gene Parrill.

Gene later was behind Precision Miniatures and was, after that, Alan Novak's partner at Motor City USA. During my absence from Forum43, Gene was the moderator.

I think it was.

Well Dick...As My Dear Grandfather Always Used To Say "Even the man of the house deserves a warm side of the side-walk somedays!" So...CHEERS to your latest addition!

Jeff

It wasn't me.

It was my dad, Bob Parrill. He took most of the phone orders.
