Brooklin Diaries for Mar 21

Thanks, John.  I just had a little fun with a pink Dodge in Keko's post and then here comes Brooklin in a topper!  Makes me wish I still had that pink dinner jacket I wore when I was a high school student a few years ago.   Thanks for the memories!    David H

 Dodge offered a pink shade on this car in 1955 called Heather Rose.  I sure hope Brooklin used this particular shade on the pink series car they have coming soon, combined with white, instead of a generic shade of pink.  I don't really understand why this concept was ever initiated; I don't get the urge to collect models painted pink, unless they are actual factory shades used back in the day.

@jack-dodds, like this one?

@jack-dodds  Actually Dodge did have a pink in their color choices in 1955-56 as the Dodge La Femme was done in pink and white just for the ladies.   Here's my interpretation.  And yes it did come with an umbrella, gloves and a purse for the lady.

Thanks, John. Nice to see what Brooklin is up to. I do miss Martin's irreverent captions but I guess that is a small penalty to pay for Brooklin perpetuating its white metal excellence under a larger banner.

@jkuvakas  JK, if there is such a personality type as an optical sadist...you are that person!  Quick...pass me the Clear Eyes!

'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder',  or is it 'that is a face only a mother could love'  

But my lovely nana would advise me 'if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything'

@ben-lampson, let us all take a moment in silence...

While we are on the topic of pink on mid-50s Dodges; has anyone heard an update on when Greg Gunn's beautiful tri-color '56 Dodge wagon will be available?  It will be a stunner.
