This post features Brooklin's 1957 Ford Fairlane Skyliner (BRK35), painted and detailed by Fred Lewis. I purchased this model during the recent Chicago Shenanigans event. The background photos show some of the murals painted on exterior brick walls in Pontiac, Illinois, which depict the history and businesses of the city.  The Route 66 mural is painted on back wall of the Route 66 Museum, which we visited.

That one looks great and this takes a very cool Brooklin replica and highlights it beautifully will this re-color ! I have Brooklin's Ford Skyliner for 1957 in a light beige color and also a 1/18 Skyliner from SunStar and they are all favorites.
