1937 Studebaker Dictator Business Coupes - Brooklin Models

The redder version is from the Brooklin Models Limited Series and the darker version is from the NB Center Series. The NB Center is a truer shade of Grapetone Maroon.

Those both look absolutely superb ! Really nice Studebakers in fine colors here, too. I have a maroon color 1937 Studebaker Coupe Express pickup in 1/18 from Yat Ming and it is also a favorite. These are good-looking cars and pickups.

The Studebaker is especially important to me as my first car was a 1937 Dictator sedan. Years ago, John Roberts built a model of my car combining the front end of this model and the rear of the 1937 Buick Special Touring Sedan. The result is pure perfection. I also have the limited series model. Love the pictures John and the comparison.

I love the look of this coupe and maroon is the perfect color for it IMO.
