This wonderful model just arrived this past week and I am thrilled with it. The original version issued by Brooklin years ago has always been a favorite of mine. Two years ago, I was fortunate enough to find and purchase a beautiful version in Lilac & Arctic White which was crafted by John White. Now with this amazing addition, I have a trio of really fine models.
1957 Packard Clipper Town Sedan, B.C.C.2024 Club Edition Model, LE #26 of 36 (90 made in total), it is in Turquoise & Arctic White.

That's just plain GORGEOUS, John! Something to be thankful for, how fitting today. Enjoy it!
I joined the BCC around a year ago and paid the dues; never got a notice about the Club Car, never got a renewal notice, never got a response to the several e-mails I sent. Had I had the chance, I would have bought this beautiful Packard too!

Sorry to hear that. I've been a member for several years now, I don't recall exactly, John K. can probably verify things, but I don't think renewal notices are ever sent out. The dues run for the annual year and are renewed in January. At least that's when I usually renew mine. Mo Brown is the only one I've ever dealt with, he takes a while to respond to emails, that's for sure, but he always does eventually. Again John K. can probably help out with any issues. Sometimes there are a couple of the club models left over; Mo might know.

The renewals are usually included with the club magazine. Email me at kuvakas@gmail.com, and I'll see what I can do.

John M.; this one will look great on display with the two Esval Studebaker station wagons you recently received!

This Brooklin Packard white metal model looks great and it is in a dramatic and very cool color scheme. Nice one !

this car shows the level of mastery Brooklin is up to. Unfortunately for me, I am not a member of BBC. A few months ago, I did a rework of this car and photos attached.
