We marvel at some of Brooklin's latest releases, but a few years ago Brooklin also excelled in their crafting of some beautiful and unusual models of some 1930s classics. When I discovered Brooklin models, these were some of the models I concentrated on for my growing collection. With an extensive selection available, it was no easy task. However, it has been one that I completely enjoyed as each of these gems was joined by the others in my collection.

In this post we will look at a couple of the 1936 Terraplane models in both sedan and convertible form. These are exceptional models that I find incredibly interesting with character and detail in abundance. From the 1st, which was the 34th Brooklin and every one of the 10 I have added since, each is packed with charm and distinction.

I have the blue convertible and agree that it's charming.

John White added a few 'chrome' enhancements to make the BRK stand out.
