This is the 2nd of the "Baby Bird" models I added to my collection. It's actually the model that prompted me to unpack the original red version I had purchased 8 years before. When I added this one, I was not aware of the differences in the white Thunderbirds, I bought it because it was white.
This model was issued in 1987 for Miniature Cars USA and is the version that has the red dash w/black interior. The story behind the why of that is interesting, and just last week I finally added the white version with all black interior that followed this release. I may be inclined to find the white w/all red interior at some point.

I had completely forgotten about this Brooklin.
