John, Brooklin did a fantastic job replicating this bread and butter grocery getter! the bright work really stands out on this model.

thanks for posting these wonderful pics.

I agree Ben. I often go to this model when folks tour my collection to show not all of  my models are of convertibles and hardtops. These are the cars we actually saw on the streets back in the day.

I have this one as well and love it; even though I am very much a 2dr. body style guy.  The color really sets this model off IMO.  The first car I ever bought as a teen was this one in tan; which John Roberts did one of for me.
