This model was originally issued by Brooklin in the BML series in 2017. The model was finished in Royal Maroon. In that color, this was an excellent model taking Brooklin to new levels of craftmanship.
In 2019 the model was reissued in another color, Black. This color elevated the model once again giving it a whole new attitude and appearance.
In 2021, with the debut of the NB Center series of models, the Chrysler Windsor T&C was issued again. In this series, the model comes with additional detailing and trim that brings the release a new level of presence.
Now for this collector, I really appreciate all versions of the model, and they continue to have a place in my collection. To differentiate the two black versions a bit more, I switched the 2019 BML example to black wall tires.

John, these Chryslers are among my favorites; switching those tires is very apropos.
If I ever finish my 1/18 Chrysler project - that I too switched tires on - I must find a way to make those "whitewall inserts" so prevalent at the time because of post war supply shortages. I truly appreciate the differences between your loaded version and the base fare. Your sedans are terrific, great pics!

What an absolutely gorgeous Chrysler Town and Country replica from Brooklin. They all look excellent and it would be hard to choose between them ......and thus your solution, lol ! I have one in 1/18 and it is great, but a 1/43 of this beauty would be a treat to obtain

Considerably before Brooklin launched their Town & Country sedan, I did this one up using a Vitesse convertible.

It's great to see those two versions together! I always try to spot the differences but always miss something. Look in the archive if you want to see the list of enhancements on the NBC version. I won't spoil it for you....
