Brooklin BRK 238 Packard Caribbean x6

Today I received the two latest versions, Polaris Blue over white and white over Polaris Blue. Most of us are familiar with the excellent casting on this one, so no need to belabor details on that.

So now I have a variety of tops in different colors, so I played around a bit. First, I think the latest releases look a little more elegant with a white top instead of blue.

And the Bikini Blue version looks just a bit sharper with a blue top.

Finally, how about red, white (sort of), and blue for America's 250th birthday?

Those are all gorgeous cars and Brooklin 1/43 replicas. What really superb white metal models from them. Choosing just one color would be the difficult part !

My 54 Carribbean models are spread out among Brooklin, Motor City and Automodello all of which I love.

These are all gorgeous. I can see why Harv acquired six. Mix and match works here.

Here is an old photograph (not by me, lol !) that shows some automobiles parked downtown. It is black and white so I think that is a dark-colored Packard Caribbean parked there. This would probably be around 1954 or so. It is likely is a car color you already have, but someone in town was doing ok to afford and drive this sweetheart.
