This is one of those amazing models from Brooklin, and since the 1:1 is gorgeous in its own right, Brooklin has successfully captured all the beauty of the 1:1 in this model. We 1st saw this model in 2016 when it was issued in the Brooklin Limited Series as BML 11. The color was a well-chosen, Burgundy Red. This was soon followed up the next year, 2017, as a Brooklin Collector's Club Limited Edition. It was limited to 75 models, mine is #22 (I joined the BCC this year when I learned of this model) The model was presented in Capri Blue Poly. The 3rd example of this fine classic was issued in 2021, now as one of the 1st six models issued in the NB Center Collection. Thie example was a highly detailed version of the previous Burgundy Red model. I was in attendance for this model's introduction, and it was an experience. One of them came home with me that day. It was limited to a 1st edition of 50, mine was #11. The 4th edition of this gem was issued earlier this year as a Second City Model's Annual 1/43rd Automobilia Show Car, it was limited to 25, mine is #04.
In these photos I have featured the last two models issued. As they are both highly detailed examples of this magnificent piece, they look great together. They are all cherished models in my collection.

Though I do not have one, I saw both the NB Center and Second City one at Countryside shows. Both are beautiful.

@ed-davis I have the NB Burgandy colored Lincoln and it is a beautiful model. It was one of those models you saw and you bought, no second guessing!

@randy-bahler I have to agree and give credit on this one for being well done in metal. I have the NB Edition and it displays nice with highly detailed resin models of the period. The chrome plating is very sharp, something that is not common on metal models.

The 1940 Lincoln Zephyr is one Brooklin model that I don't have but one that I should. I agree that it is one of the most strikingly beautiful models that Brooklin ever made. I missed one that sold on " the Bay" this past Saturday. It was the 1st release and sold for $47. Someone got a great deal, although, it did have some issues but not issues that can't be fixed.
