Brooklin website and Bulgari's Allentown Museum link
I was searching for a good photo of Brooklin's 1937 Buick and came across this website promoting the Buick Club's 50th anniversary, Bulgari's Allentown, Pennsylvania automobile museum and Brooklin Models. It is from 2016. The look is unmistakably the same as the new Brooklin Models website.
The text of the Allentown link may appear a little breathless and flowery but I suspect Brooklin will moderate it somewhat in their site and if the navigation and images are as high quality as they appear to be striving for, my bet is that the new site will attract more visitors than the one we've become accustomed to, hopefully leading to more purchasers of the little cars so many of us are fond of.
Here's the link to the site I'm talking about:

I attended the event that Bulgari hosted for the Buick Club in Allentown, and had a number of great conversations with Brooklin's Nigel there.
It is evident that the Brooklin - Bulgari association has led to the creation of numerous replicas of the cars -- Buicks and other brands -- in the Bulgari collection. I believe that Brooklin collectors have been well-served by the relationship. The Nicola Bulgari Center for American Automotive Heritage in Allentown is nothing short of remarkable!
If you ever have opportunity to visit the collection and tour Bulgari's workshops, it is not to be missed.
