Just added this little gem to my collection. Brooklin did a superb job with this one! I'm a big fan of this era of ChryCo styling and it is extremely well-presented in this '50 Dodge. I think it looks great in this business coupe body style, and especially in this very appropriate color.

Never satisfied to have a stand-alone model in my collection, I'll now be looking to get the grey '41 Chrysler Saratoga business coupe to park next to this Dodge.

Any other Brooklin models in the business coupe body style you can think of?

Not a Brooklin but how about a Durham Classics  DC11C - 1938 Chevrolet Business Utility Coupe with its modified trunk for customer samples.

Brooklin in the early days made a BRK 4 1937 Chevrolet Business Coupe. ( By the same tool and die maker, Julian Stewart, I think.)

Sorry but GM, not Chrysler.

I remember these old business coupes, riding around in the back area of a pre-WW II Chevy version.  I see four coupes, but not "business" coupes, that might interest you.  One is practically unknown.

I have this Dodge and the convertible as well,  but I keep hoping someone will do more variations on early 50s Mopars,  Plymouths and Dodges in particular.   Sedans would make great police and taxis.   The first pillarless hardtops were in 1951.

All these business coupes and lower-end two door vehicles look excellent.

Nice add Barry. You might want to consider the  Wayfarer roadster by Brooklin as it's a natural to display next to the coupe. All of the suggestions by David and David are also excellent.

Here's the 1950 Dodge convertible, as suggested by Bob.

Never seen this Plymouth coupe by Miniature Vehicle Castings but I found a while back a sedan version.  Wonder what other ones were made.

@john-quilter    John, Here's a recent sale on Vectis (England) pictured. The only information was "Miniature Vehicle Castings."

Here's a more extensive number as photographed in Hobby DB.  There's a little information there also:

Harv, I'd describe that little beauty as "jaunty" looking! 

Thanks everyone for all the replies here. I was able to find the '41 Chrysler Saratoga business coupe at a really great price from Wilkinson's e-Automobilia in Vancouver. It's on the way!

That '50 Dodge looks good! and the Chrysler Saratoga is a great model, I have the grey version.

If you collect resin, and you don't already have the Neo '41 Chevy Deluxe coupe, it is worth it's weight in gold! what an under-appreciated model this one is!

I took a Solido Dodge pickup and converted it into a 1941 Plymouth station wagon.  Shown here with the green USA Model coupe and Durham Classics convertible coupe with added skirts.
