A closer look at three models from my collection. This post is featuring three Brooklin models from the Buick Collection, all 1937 models. The Buick Collection is a special segment in the total. I've always been a big fan of the Buick brand. As a kid, my whole family were Buick owners. Any family function always looked like a mini-car show featuring the brand.

Buick represents the 2nd largest group of models in my collection, following the Cadillac brand. I added my 1st Buick Collection model from Brooklin in 2015, as I learned more about Brooklin Models and discovered more of what the Collection offered, I decided that all of them would have to be part of my collection.  As of this post, I believe I have finally got that covered, with a few duplicates, it's all good.

Brooklin's models of cars of the thirties have a certain delicacy and fine detail about them that appeals to me While I'm a fan of all Brooklin models, it's hard for me to believe the model makers are the same as those who made the molds for the newer cars.

Let's not forget the 1937 convertibles - BC 005B Special convertible in the later correct shade of Sandringham Maroon and the Special convertible coupe in Bengal Brown Poly.

@@jcarnutz John just to let you know that because of this post, I ordered the Gray "Slant-back" 2-door sedan today. I intend to display it with blackwall tires, as seen in your pictures. Thanks for the inspiration!
