It’s spring time and time to remember a beautiful color on the Buick for ‘58.
The color match between the actual car and the Brooklin 1:43 is actually closer than these images show as the 1:43 Buick was photographed at dusk. One of my favorite Brooklins especially this time of year. Brings back memories of some of the beautiful cars of the ‘50’s.
And yes, the Brooklin 1:43 replicates the 160 little squares in the grille perfectly.

I agree, and I have same model. I love all the plated parts on the sides.

An excellent model, I have this one, but the silver one is my favorite of the three issued.

It's a beauty ! In 1/43, I have a Vitesse Buick Special for that year. Very impressive cars.
