The 3rd Brooklin Baby Bird that I picked up. This particular model was the one I saw in David Knight's post; the color intrigued me and renewed my interest in Brooklin's Thunderbird. When I went looking for this model, I didn't find one right away at a price I was willing to pay. I bought the white version instead. With a little patience, this model came my way a few months later.
Issued in 1982 as the Classic Thunderbird International Club Edition Model. A Limited Edition, 1 of 300 in Buckskin Tan
1956 Ford Thunderbird Roadster, BRK 13-003a

That one looks excellent and in a great color, too. This initial style of Thunderbirds is an acknowledged classic for understandable reasons. From this same era, I have a Brooklin 1/43 Ford Skyliner in a cream color.

One of my favorites. I have two of them. Here is one of them in 1:43 together with an actual ‘bird in Buckskin Tan.

I ahve come to really like the Buckskin Ford color in recent years. I sure didn't like it as a young man; considered it to be pink.
