I am pretty sure I've posted these photos before, but for me, these are such special models that they deserve a 2nd look. When I discovered my 1st one of these models by Brooklin, I was blown away by the overall look and style captured in these little gems. After the arrival of the 1st, I immediately began the task of acquiring every one of these Buick models. Having been raised in a Buick household and overall family in general, the Buick brand has always held a soft spot in my heart. I now have nearly 50 of these models in the Buick Collection, not sure right now, how many were issued, but I believe I have them all and quite a few duplicates as well. Now I really like them all, but the '37 & '38 Buick models are the best of the bunch. These three represent some of the different body-styles offered by Buick for 1937.
1937 Buick Special Series 40 Model 47 4dr Touring Sedan "Slant Back" - BC 06 in Sudan Blue Poly. This the 2nd of these models I picked up, this one coming from the BM Outlet with a price too good to pass up. This is one of two final models I've added from this Collection this past year. Since I already had one of these, this one got a set of whitewall tires.
The 2nd model featured in this post was the other model I bought along with the blue one above. As with that one, I already had one of these, so this model received a new set of black wall tires since the original is wearing whitewalls.

The 3rd model is another variation of the '37 Buick body styles. As the integrated trunk became more popular in American cars, Buick answered the demand with this one and Brooklin has modeled it perfectly.

As I finished up the post, I consulted the Brooklin Models Collector's Guide (a constant reference point for me-so important I have two of them) Anyway, the guide shows 32 Buick models in the Collection. With that, I see that I do have them all, and with those, it comes to 17 duplicates. Obsessed much...

The Brooklin Buick series of the 1930s was very well done. Great pics John.

Have all 3 of these plus many more variations, love them all! With the '36 - '39 Buick Collection, Brooklin has covered every body style - 2-door and 4-door slantback and trunkback sedans, limousines, sport coupes, open and closed convertibles, convertible sedan phaetons - in multiple colors, and with and without sidemounts!
Great, John, just great!
