If all works out for the day and since it's going to rain most of it, and I got my yard work all done until the weekend. I thought I'd have a model marathon of posts. 

I've been working on quite a few photos lately, so let me get started...

I had John Roberts redo this one in Olympic Blue; he did an awesome job as always.

I like it!  But, being curious, I googled it and found an older Hemmings ad.  In part,

Pontiac stopped building sedan deliveries in 1953 for the U.S. market; in Canada, however, the Pontiac sedan delivery continued a little longer, as we can see from this 1956 Pontiac Pathfinder sedan delivery for sale on Hemmings.com, a car based on the same-year Chevrolet body and chassis, using a Chevrolet truck drivetrain. Given its unusual configuration and limited production numbers, it's probably a good thing that it has recently been restored and still has many of its original parts.

This looks like the same version as your Brooklin.  Interesting!

@d-m-holcombe To my recollection Pontiac sedan delivery cars were done in Canada up to and including 1958; I don't ever recall seeing a '59.

I believe this car is Ontario based and this 1:43 model was done for CTCS as I recall, so it is quite possibly the one used for BRK measurements back in the day.

Nice John, One of the few CTCS models that I missed. Had surgery that Fall and missed the show for the first time since 1974.
