There are three 1941 Brooklin 1941 Pontiacs as shown.
But instead of the four door fast back Torpedo Streamliner I would have preferred the one in this picture.
Just noticed, I will have to add the front and rear fender moldings to the four door and coupe to match the woody.

That would have been my preference too John and also to have the woody done in that chestnut poly color. With that said, I do quite like what BRK gave us though.

If I could find a really cheap Brooklin, I would, but I hate buying full price ones and chopping them up. Just don't have the heart for it. Here's the Buick version, a Jerry Rettig resin kit bought and built decades ago.

@john-quilter Nice!
I can relate 100%. You may/may not know I chop up 1/18ths all the time to fabricate what I want.
Years ago, it didn't matter much because everything was so cheap. I bought certain models with specific projects in mind, but they've since become so valuable I, like you, do NOT have the heart to chop 'em up!

Nice color scheme. You can add detail by adding the four chrome strips on each fender trailing edge. I use sections of 22 gauge silver colored wire held in place with clear nail polish.

@john-quilter Thanks for the tip. I tried that already but not totally sold on it. Also, used BMF around window trim. Will post pictures later.

Awesome colors! That design lends itself so well to two-toning, and you picked stunning colors.

BRK's wagon as enhanced a couple of years ago,
Please note:
I never messed up the car with this rack, it was just a silly idea... 😎
