Another Brooklin Buick model from my collection.

The best that Brooklin had to offer in Buick models are within the Buick Collection - 1934-1939. These are some very well-done models that capture all of the class & elegance Buick built into their selections from the later 30s. 

This is the 2nd of these models I've added to my collection. A very minor modification with the change to black wall tires gives this gem a new attitude.

@jack-dodds +1Jack. I do have to question Buick's decision to use "Coronary" green as a paint name. I have always thought Brooklins models of the thirties cars are their very best

@bob-jackman 

When I look at many colors from that era and even through the 50s, I often wonder where in the world someone came up with the color name. I leave that thought figuring that our experiences of today make the names seem like odd choices but maybe they weren't back in the day.
