A true classic. I would like to add to my collection a 57's Chevy by Brooklin, the most I like is the 4 doors hardtop.... but the price is a little big for me...

It's a very lovely model but IMHO that is not surf green.

As popular as the 57 Chevy was, I was amazed at how few were modelled in 1/43 scale. I have examples from MOC and Western and now Brooklin.

@bob-jackman But don't forget the ones by Dinky and Corgi who did two door hardtops, convertibles and a black Nomad.

You are correct John. I was thinking white metal.

I agree Bob. I have always been amazed that such an incredibly popular car was only very rarely done decently in 1:43 scale. I never found one I liked enough to buy until Brooklin did theirs. The latest Brooklin is very well done IMO and I hope and pray they also bring out the Bel-Air 2drht (for sure gonna happen IMO), convertible (different color) and NOMAD. I would buy them all and I'm sure many others would.
