@karl, yes. I've heard that some think all they do is redos and recolors. Bu the last several releases were brand from new masters, and the next several will be as well. That Caribbean is going to be awesome!

Thanks again John. I have a question about the Studebaker Dictator model. Why would an American company choose Dictator for a car model name?

@ed-davis, I'm guessing it didn't carry the same baggage before the war.

A fine overview, John. Brooklin, BCC and the NB Center have some terrific models on the way.

@ed-davis I had the same question a few years ago when I saw one.  Here is a good explanation:  https://macsmotorcitygarage.com/whats-in-a-name-the-1927-37-studebaker-dictator/   In 1927, perhaps Dictator did not have such a negative connotation as it would gain just a few short years later...
