On several of your Brooklin My Take videos, especially ones about NB Center cars, you have made comments about the level of interior detail. I hope one day there is a NB Center or other Brooklin model with NB Center level of interior detail of a top-down convertible, so we can better admire the interior detail.

You said that the trim is "wired". It seems to me as being the same as the NBC Center. I thought that the 1946 Pontiac was the first to have wire trim.

@nickies, the Pontiac was the first to have wire trim around all the windows.

Wow, what a beauty ! It is a real scale gem of this Lincoln and done up extremely well here in 1/43 scale. A fine look at it, John.

@jkuvakas How is it different from the NBC Center other than the color? The side trim and window frames seem the same. The only enhancement I can see is some red paint on the hubcap scripts.

@nickies, I'm not sure what the issue is here. It is a different color. The trim is wire and plated nickel. But all that is pretty standard on Brooklins. The appeal of the model is the very limited number made. Did you watch the video?

@jkuvakas 

Do you know if the NB Center Lincoln’s sold today still have the original NB Center display packaging or do they now use the new style display packaging like used for Riviera and Pontiac?

They come with the now standard NB Center Collection packaging, including the deluxe case and white base. It's the same as the packaging for the Riviera.
