Brooklin new and old Hudson Hornets.
Thought it might be interesting to compare Brooklin's latest Hudson with two earlier very similar Brooklin models, namely the 1952 Hudson Hornet Convertible (BRK36), issued in 1992, and the Brooklin Collectors' Club special of 1995, the 1952 Hudson Hornet Hollywood Coup? (BRK36x). The photos will reveal how far Brooklin have progressed in the last 20+ years. The models themselves are far less chunky, and with a greater fineness, plus of course, more detail. Just compare the difference in size in the boot badges. To me, they don't look like they come from the same manufacturer, until of course, when you pick them up. They may be quite a bit more expensive, but they are a much better quality, and a more accurate model.
Please excuse the squeaking on the video. My turntable was complaining about the weight of three Brooklins all at once !!!!

Good comparison, Mike. Now you have me thinking that I should take a look at my own Hudsons.
