Here is the next picture in my Brooklin in Illinois series.  It shows BRK228, 1956 Buick Century 4 Door Hardtop in Dover White over Bedford Blue. The background shows The Catlow Theatre in downtown Barrington.  Built in 1927 The Catlow stopped showing movies in 2020 and is currently being restored to support live stage activities.  The marquee has a new message almost every day.

An excellent image, both background and beautiful Brooklin 1956 Buick model. This white metal replica really stands out in these great colors, too.

I was happy enough with the GFCC Buick and got two, one to convert into a convertible.  And the displaced roof used to create an Oldsmobile four door hardtop.

The more recent updated/improved GFCC '56 Buick is really well done and IMHO a great value for money.

These are excellent models; I picked 4 of the 5 in early 2022. I somehow managed to miss the blue/white one. I took care of that this evening.
