Even More news

The next Brooklin will be the Cadillac 62 Coup?, and the next Lansdowne, the 1956 Hillman Minx Convertible. I don't know yet what the release dates are.

The Minx is being sprayed this week. The Cadillacs are waiting for their vac form windows. Caddys are Sienna Rose - all one colour although the models have a chrome birdcage.
The Minx will be Honey Beige with a red interior. This colour was unique to the Minx convertible and the Series 1 Sunbeam Rapier where it was combined with Pearl Grey.
I knew everyone was bursting to know all this!!

Mike, the Caddies are shown on last week's Photo Diary, but it's hard to see very much of them. I'm not a Caddy collector by any means, but this one might be attractive enough to add to the GM collection. Love the bubbletop roofline.
