I love wagons and models of them. Brooklin’s ‘55 Chrysler Windsor Town and Country in Canyon Tan/White is one of my favorites. The actual car pictured for comparison is a New Yorker. The Windsor had a less complex chrome side treatment and the trim under the grill openings on the New Yorker differs from from the Windsor series.
Below is a comparison between the New Yorker series and the Windsor series front end. I never knew there was a difference!
But you had to pop for the more expensive New Yorker Town and Country wagon ($4208) to get a Hemi of 332 cubic inches, (250 HP). The Windsor Town & Country ($3331) came with a polyspherical head engine of 301 cubic inches (188 HP) . Common gearbox for both was a two speed Powerflite. Windsors sold about 2 to 1 to New Yorkers.
Wonderful. I do so love the Chrysler wagons of the late 50s. We have so few in wagon form. I just ordered this one yesterday-I hadn't seen this post yet. I have the two-green version already, but this color combination is very appealing.
As always, great comparison. I wouldn't be much of a stretch for Brooklin to do a New Yorker version, wouldn't that be special.
Here is a 1955 Chrysler Windsor Town and Country customized by J.R. I find that the model have the looks of a New Yorker.
For those who have the book Chrysler in Miniatures, you can see the pictures of the same model at the page 97. Surely that Randall and John could gives more explanations about the transformation of the BRK 138.
Coincidence i found 3 weeks ago the BRK Town and country in Canyon Tan/White and the model is great. The colors stand out.
This BRK 138 i think would be genial just aside the CNQ 1955 Desoto Fireflite station wagon. Hope than Buz will released some others in different color schemes.
Thanks for the pictures David. I am too lazy to take pictures of my models.
