Any thoughts about the trunk slope on this brass master? It appears to me to have a more dramatic slope compared to the picture of the real car which has a more gradual slope.

There were two different bodies used in these 1946 to 1948 Pontiacs.  The Brooklin appears to be based on the smaller of the two which had a more abruptly sloping rear deck.   Believe this A body was shared with the Chevrolets of the era.  This was just pictured on the planned Goldvarg item.   Pontiac students can confirm.

I can't wait for that '46 Pontiac, and it will be an NB Center release to boot, so it will have all the jewelry.

And that is a very nice close up pic of the brass master.

I really look forward to these Brooklin Diaries.

Thank you again John
