Since I haven't had much to do with my photo files for months and as I clean them up and send them to the cloud. I thought I'd post a few of them. Most of the model in the "Look Back" sets will probably have been posted before. So, I hope you don't mind repeats.

The 1st pair are these two Brooklin gems. The '56 Pontiac is a rework by John White and the '56 Buick is right from Brooklin Factory as the 2nd color combination they issued.

1956 Buick Century Riviera Hardtop Sedan & 1956 Pontiac Chieftain 870 Sedan

Beautiful models which I've not seen, and nice, comparative compositions. Superbe.

Pink and grey were iconic back then. I even had a 1958 Vauxhall Cresta in the same two tone. My future wife’s choice.

They are both beautiful models. Until I saw your pics of the models side by side I never realized how much more modern the Buick looked over the Pontiac even though they are both '56's

I love the coral/grey, pink/grey, pink/black offerings from most car companies back in the 50s.
