What will be the price of the 1946 Pontiac?
@kenspear, I'm not sure, Ken. It will be from The NB Center collection. So we can expect a high level of detail. We'll find out soon.

What will be the price of the 1946 Pontiac?
I have the NB Center 1954 Cadillac ($340), the Lincoln Zephyr ($320), and the Chrysler Town & Country ($400) not including shipping.
I would guess the price for the Pontiac will be in between the Caddy and the Zephyr.
The Town & Country is more expensive due to the parts count and it required more labor.
@ben-lampson My Riviera was $364, and it was a single-tone. I'm guessing the high 300s.
The first six NB models was also offer in standard version before but not the Buick and neither the Pontiac? From now does the NB Center models collection will be offered only in this range?

Good guess Harv.....I say $350.
Anyone else want to guess a number, and we will see who is closest?
What is your number Harv?
@michel-lemieux I afraid so dear Michel...Myabe Jhon Kuvakas has more info about.
We won't know for sure until Brooklin has a firm production schedule which will come after they move to their new location. Their decision to move into an existing space will move things forward faster than waiting for the former space to be built out. The builders of the original space kept encountering delays. When they told Brooklin, last week, that it wouldn't be done until after the first of the year, Brooklin immediately chose a finished space in the same area. As for future products, my guess (this is only my guess, not an official position) is that most of the brand new issues will be from The NB Center Collection with a few standard Brooklin releases sprinkled in there and some annual club models for the BCC as well.

I think at the beginning of the year someone published a list of the second group of NB Center models, starting with the Buick Riviera and 1946 Pontiac. Am I correct, and do you or anyone else remember what else was proposed?

@ben-lampson I'll go with $375. Hopefully that will be before the BCC 10% discount.
@ed-davis Maybe i am wrong, but I remember four pictures than John Merritt had sent on the forum for the NB Center Collection voting lineup. The Buick and the Pontiac was among the group with four others cars but i am not able to identified the other four cars. Perhaps that one of them will be the next model? I will try to find the John's pics on one of my USB key.
One was the already-issued GMC taxi in Yellow Cab livery, supposedly likely to get more details. Another was a gray 1946/47/48 Nash Ambassador Suburban woody sedan, and there was a 1932 Cadillac Model 370B V12 sedan that I think is on the drawing boards now. The last is a maroon coupe that could be a '37 Studebaker Dictator.
