What better birthday present for Moe Parr to give to himself than an interesting variant of a Chrysler model from the year of my birth? I turned the whitewalls around, I believe the blackwalls better suit this version, which raced on Daytona Beach.
I just noticed that the decal placement differs on the other side of the car:
Knowing Brooklin, I'm sure that's an accurate depiction of the real car!

Happy 69th Barry. And yes, the black walls are appropriate.

Happy birthday. A nice thing about buying your own presents, you get what you want.

I was thinking of swapping them out with the wheel covers on my Brooklin '55 Windsor convertible (just like this picture!) but the rear axle doesn't come out from either car, and I don't want to try pulling the wheels off the ends of the axle...

@moe-parr Mo Brown of the BCC in the UK may be able to get you those wheel covers. Are you aware of him? He is authorized by Brooklin as a BRK parts source.

I have those wheel covers on a '55 Windsor convertible which I'd swap out with the wires but when I take the car apart, the entire front axle assembly can be taken out but the passenger compartment stops the rear from coming out, and I'm afraid to pull the wheels off the axle ends.

Happy Birthday ! And a fine-looking model of the Chrysler 300 to celebrate it with.

Who's in better shape for age 69, us or the car? LOL

Well, since the car is made of metal, I'll give it the edge!

A nice find for a birthday present! The ‘55 Chrysler was an amazing car on or off the track. Here’s mine, one of my favorite Brooklins. It was a nice spring day in Richmond Virginia so I took my 300 out for a 1:43rd drive.
