One of Brooklin’s earliest issues — #2, in fact, was a Tucker.. That was when John Hall was just starting his white metal models out of a small shop in Brooklin, Ontario, Canada. That first Tucker model was primitive. Over the years there would be several revisions each getting a bit better. Then, The AACA Museum commissioned Brooklin to replicate the three David Cammack Tuckers acquired by the museum. These were vastly improved replicas sold only through the museum. Then more colors were released until all the colors Tucker did were replicated. I have them all and they are gorgeous. Here is one in Maroon, a replica of one of the Cammack Tuckers.
Other colors in addition to the maroon one shown above.
The bronze one was originally maroon but Mr. Cammack already had a maroon one so he had it painted bronze. It is also the only surviving one with an automativc transmission. The other was destroyed in a crash.
Most Tuckers were fitted with whitewalls but one black car was known to leave the factory fitted with black tires. It was later painted yellow and remained yellow for many years until a few years ago it was restored to factory specs including a black finish and black tires.
mine. I have all the colors that were done in the later series. I have not yet acquired any from the original version. The gold looks very interesting.
Now is the time Ed.....with those new NB Center models. I already have the 1st issued Lincoln Zephyr and the Chrysler Town and Country, but the newly released NB Center models have resin headlights, chrome window surrounds, spot lights and door mirrors.
