From My Collection... 1960 Lincoln

OK, in 1:1 form these were large cars, very large indeed. Today when I see one, I find them to have a commanding presence. They are distinctive and certainly can't be confused with any other car on the road. I have always been a fan, and I can appreciate everything they had to offer. That kind of car, like the Cadillac and Imperial from the same era took extreme to the very edge. They all made a statement of excess, but for me, they also exhibited class and luxury.

As far as I know, the only 1960 Lincoln model offered by anyone was from Brooklin, and that was a white convertible 1st issued in the late 1990s. Brooklin followed that one with two other convertibles in additional colors and limited numbers. They all reside in my collection, and I am pleased with each and every one.

Now here we are in 2025, and the Brooklin Collector's Club has chosen to commission another version of the 1960 Lincoln model. This time a Town Car Sedan was chosen. A rare car in 1:1 form, and even a bit rarer in model form. The model was issued in a Limited Edition of 95, with the 1st 37 of those individually numbered, mine is #26 (I don't remember now how, but #26 is my number and many of my later LE models have the same number - I also don't recall why some are numbered and others are not-does someone else remember the reason?)

Anyway, this is a wonderful model and is crafted with all the added details that Brooklin models have had for a couple of years now. Everyone knows I am a devoted Brooklin fan and with that I am thrilled to have this gorgeous gem in my collection.
