Brooklin 221x 1957 Chevy in "cherry red", an LE of 50 for Robert Budig
Just made photos of this one. The red is a slightly dark color - for those who built plastic kits "back in the day" think Testors #1204 vs. #1203 (bright red). So, not authentic but still quite nice. Brooklin must be reserving "Matador Red" for some future '57 Chevrolet release.

It is, my mistake. I don't have the 1960 Chevy 40th Anniversary car which was also "ruby red".
So I wonder if the same paint was used.

I like it! This is a red that wakes me up. Another keeper, Harvey!
