The latest Brooklin Models to join my collection are these two gems with loads of features and options for display. This is the 2023 Brooklin Collector's Club Edition model. 

Limited Editions of 100. My 1st one is a numbered LE, #26 of 35. The other is labeled 1 of 100. These are both exceptional models with options to display with or without fender skirts, a fixed hardtop or an open or closed convertible. These models are finished in Pompano Peach and Satin Black.

Brooklin did a nice job on this with all the options. I am currently displaying mine as a top down convertible without the skirts. You stated the first is a LE #26 of 35. do you know why 35 and not 100?

I paid the dues to join the BCC back in October and reached out multiple times to various club officers in an attempt to place an order for this model but didn't get a response. Any chance I can still obtain one? I'd really love to have it!

John, it looks fantastic!

What a beautiful Plymouth and Brooklin 1/43 white metal model of it ! As a kid, I recall I had a 1/25 promo of a '55 or '56 Plymouth and I currently have a 1/32 Signature diecast of the 1956 Plymouth coupe. They are lovely automobiles.

Yes, my question too.    What's special about these 35?

John, you did what I would have to do.... buy two!     The 'vert & the hardtop must be displayed together. 

To this day, I still wonder why 1955 & '56 Plymouths (and Dodges ) don't enjoy the same collector status as Chevys & Fords.  They're beautiful cars, I've always loved them.

@chris 

I don’t recall the reason and I didn’t put any info in my database. I’ve reached out to Mo for an explanation, haven’t heard back yet.

The Club usually identifies the first models made using the number of years the club has been in existence. So, the first 35 models of the 2023 club model would have a special designation, "1 of 35." For 2024, the first 36 models will be identified.

I would also love to see many more Plymouths, Dodges and Chryslers done; post war through 1967.  Like you I also would love to see the '55/'56 Dodge and Plymouth done in particular.  I understand that Chryco is harder to deal with regarding the granting of licensing/permission to model makers who would like to feature their cars.  Here is a sampling of Plymouths that are glaringly missing; especially in 1:43 scale....including the controversial '62.

I wonder about that...... I see an awful lot of HEMI models, Jeeps in all scales, not mention Chargers, Challengers and "Christines"  everywhere.  I do like your list of cars... we need ALL those Mopars in 1/18 too!
