Another beautiful gem by Brooklin has joined my collection. The original model issued by Brooklin was an excellent one. This very special model takes it to another level.

Modified & detailed by John White, this '56 Pontiac comes in Phantom Gray & Camellia. Sharing the spotlight with this Pontiac is Brooklin's '56 Buick, which is resplendent in its Apricot, Dover White & Carlsbad Black coat.

When I was a teenager a friend of mine's mother had the exact same color '56 Pontiac, except hers was a 4drht.  John White did a beautiful job on this Pontiac; just gorgeous.

John, those are two beautiful cars in colors that were so 1956. Colors in that era were attractive in their two and three tone paint schemes. I really like that Pontiac in Phantom Grey and Camellia. Your pictures are great as usual. Here’s the Phantom Grey over Camellia in reverse combination. Beautiful!
