Are these as nice as Motor City models?

It is certainly the heaviest model in my collection.

That is a beautiful model.  If someone thinks any Motor City models are better, I would be interested to know where they are better.  Since I do not own any Motor City models, I cannot make a fair comparison.

I forgot to add a 'plug' when I posted these pics, for my original issued maroon 1947 Town & Country for sale at $250 plus shipping, if anyone is interested.

It is mint in the collectors box. Brooklin wants about $350 for this model, so this is a good deal.

Respond to this thread, or email me at pontiacpower1129@aol.com or formula1129@gmail.com.

To me, the current Brooklin and mid-90s Motor City U.S.A. models are equally detailed. For reference, these are two Motor City U.S.A. models similar to Brooklin's "The NB Center Collection" model. No.77 1942 Town and Country "Woody Barrel" Black and No.22 1948 Town and Country Green. I rode the real car's passenger seat at the NABCC1 event in Allentown, PA. I enjoyed the entire event.

Nice pics. Thanks, Mike. Keith from The NB Center wanted to have the ride-along/drive cars as close as they could get to the club models. He did a good job! That T&C was magnificent!

I didn't know Motor City had already made "NB Center Collection" model in the 90s - just kidding. Keith understands who we are. We love both model cars and real cars. I wish I could drive one of them by winning the ruffle but riding along on Town and Country was a fun moment. Thanks to you for managing and organizing the NBCC1 event, John!

Ed the two Motor City models Mike shows are every bit as nice as the new Brooklins and were done 20 plus years ago.

Another variation on the Chrysler

I turned to my Chrysler woody and was reminded that it was different.  It's by Matrix and somewhat simplified.

My convertible is also somewhat simplified.  Seems like today I'm in a lower range of model, but these are two that I like! Especially the interior on the Vitesse.
