Three different models from Brooklin today. The 1st is from their Pontiac Collection, the collection was limited to just six models - which is too bad, because these were nice models that represented the 30s Era of Pontiac style very well. I would have appreciated a few more.

1937 Pontiac Deluxe 6 Silver Streak Touring Sedan, PC-01

1937 Pontiac Dlx 6 Touring Sdn 7

The 2nd model was issued as a standard Brooklin release 1st as BRK 198 in 2014, it was then re-issued in 2016 in the BML Series. The model is based on the actual car in the NB Center Collection. Both are labeled as Freedom Blue, but the BML is a slightly different shade of blue. This is the 1st one.

The 3rd model is a bit different for me; I wasn't aware of this before purchasing a John Roberts creation of a 1931 Hudson Greater Eight in 2020, it used the body of the TR-704. When I learned of it, I started the hunt to find one. They proved to be more elusive than one would have expected. Then in 2023, thanks to the BM Outlet on eBay, Brooklin's efforts to sell off remaining inventory during one of their factories moves led to many great models (brand new) being offered, many of which were otherwise hard-to-find examples such as the TR-704. I was so excited to find one, and even more so when I actually found it in three different colors. I of course, had to have one of each.

All beauties! The dual side-mounts on the Graham really catch my eye.

1937 is my favorite year for cars and the Pontiac doesn't disappoint.

John, I agree with your thoughts about the Pontiac. I too would have enjoyed a few more models in the collection.
