Brooklin '37 Studebaker Truck, 2008 CTCS

Thanks for showing this piece of Brooklin model history.

OMG....was that 16 years ago?!

What a superb-looking Studebaker truck in 1/43 from Brooklin ! I had two Yat Ming 1/18 1937 Studebaker pickups and currently have  lovely one in dark maroon.

I had thoughts of using one of my '37 YM Studebaker pickups and the rear part of one of my Signature 1936 Pontiacs to "kinda" make a 1937 Studebaker Dictator coupe but it remains just at project stage. If did try that, someone would make a scale model Studebaker coupe for real, lol !

@mikedetorrice Mike, John Roberts made a model of my first car for me using the Brooklin coupe and a Brooklin 1937 Buick sedan. My car was a 37 Studebaker Dictator sedan and John replicated it to perfection.

@mikedetorrice,

Extremely nice automobile and thanks, John, for that video overview of this 1/43 NB Center Brooklin. It is a real jewel of a replica !

It is great, Bob, to have John Roberts do a Brooklin 1/43 of that automobile for you ! I remember many years ago  the late Johnny Carson was contacted by the gentleman who had restored the exact 1938 DeSoto (I think) that he had taken his date to the prom in many decades before. Naturally, Johnny had many jokes about the restoration of the back seat !  

Actually it was a 1939 Chrysler  which is now in Jay Leno's collection.

And Dinky did a 1939 Chrysler in their 39 series of cars.
