This beauty arrived last Friday, and it is a beauty for sure. Commissioned from Brooklin Models by Jeff Lane for Second City Models & the Annual 1/43 Automobilia Show in March 2023. It is a Limited Edition of 25. This is the 4th release of a fantastic casting from Brooklin. The 1st was issued in 2016 and was finished in Burgundy Red. The 2nd was issued in 2017 as the BCC Club Edition, a LE of 75 and was finished in Capri Blue. The 3rd example was from the NB Center Collection, a LE of 50 and is also in Burgundy Red with additional detailing.

It's gorgeous car and diecast. A great addition .... and of course, it's a Lincoln ! In 1/18, I have a customized 1940 Lincoln, done as the Hot Wheels
Lincoln Scrape show car.

I quite like this Brooklin Zephyr Coupe, especially in this colour. Thanks John.

I have the NB Center issue, and I usually don't buy doubles for a repaint, but I would make an exception for this curvy sweet heart.
I noticed the chrome details stand out more against the black paint versus the red version.
Thanks for posting John.

I tend to think black 1/43 cars hide the details but this is stunning! AS Ben said, all the silver details really pop on this one.
Does it have the resin headlights like the NB Center version? (I forgot to look when I saw it in Chicago...)

I agree with you about black cars. Gloss black does hide some details in cars in all scales. However, when you have lots of curvy lines like this Lincoln, you have a beautiful model, and of course, the plated parts look great on black cars.
