Ed Glorius, I enjoyed seeing your pictures in Car Spotter in the February 2018 issue of Collectible Automobile Magazine of two of GM's finest, a '66 Cadillac and a '66 Oldsmobile Toronado. I've long wanted to see a '66 Toronado done by Brooklin! What great finds right in your home town of Dunedin, Florida!

Ha! I hadn't even noticed they were there! I'm off to look.
Indeed they are there...I looked at every car around them but not them. Thanks, and, yes, I'd love a Toronado too.
Living here is an old car paradise!

Ed, Dunedin? Spring baseball, palm trees and sunshine! I once owned a little concern that I called
Dunedin's. I believe its origin is Scotland. I was amazed at how many people couldn't pronounce it correctly. Most common was "Dooon Dinz". I don't know how many times I said, "Its pronounced Dun Eden... like, the Garden".
Drove me crazy!

Yes, Scottish. Our sister city is Stirling in Scotland.

Ed, did you notice that David's photo is just above yours? That's a good catch, David...nice car.

Great subjects from a sparsely represented era. Spark made a decent Toronado,
Nicely detailed for the price, in that popular metallic blue. But the interior is a bright, toy-ish blue which spoils the look. I tried to disassemble it for a repaint and extra detail but the rear seat is too firmly glued to the body.
Ive faced this backseat issue several times, and destroyed one model in the attempt. Any suggestions appreciated!

I looked at the photo but didn't make the connection. Thanks!
