I do believe we need to add Roger's Studebaker President Roadster to the 2025 nominations, but please vote in 2024!
https://www.modelcarhall.com/blog/make-your-vote-count-mchof-awards/
Four categories apply to us directly:
Model Brand of the Year - 2 1/43rd's are there!
Model Car Dealer of the Year - one active member is there (I won't name names, but vote for Dave!)
Content Creator - I will name names, so vote for our own John K!
1/43 - 1/55 Scale - Two at the top are so nice, but vote for your fav!!!

Usually I don't pay much attention to this , but I think the Brooklin '55 Plymouth truly deserves a place. Magnetic fender skirts and a choice of three configurations for the top - what's not to like? And if there is any justice in this world, Giugiaro deserves his place as a top designer. I also voted for Mike and Sue Richardson in their category, even though a win would be posthumous.

@mg-harv I agree with Harvey but it is a hard choice between the 'orange' and the 'lilac'! 😯 🤨

@mg-harv I just voted and the Brooklin model is not tagged as "Brooklin" - all of the other nominees have the name of the company - that s/b corrected and I've sent a message to the site asking that it be added.

Just voted. Interesting choices that require some thought. Could not decide in a few cases due to lack of knowledge by me. I did vote for Mike and Sue Richardson. I still have most of their excellent magazines as well as a significant number of their Mikansue and Americana white metal models, pioneers in this area.

Who put the information together?
Spot On - "Only mainstream 1/43 true-to-scale brand at the time with lovely model choices" - huh! Well their scale model vehicles were actually 1:42nd scale
Dinky Toys, France - "Very overlooked and interesting brand" - very overlooked! By whom? Bearing in mind the number of articles on this brand published in the British magazine: Model Collector, Mike Richardson was one contributor, provides evidence that this brand wasn't exactly overlooked!
The Corgi Model Club has reignited interest in their classic models" - This version of the Corgi Model Club were not in existence when the classic Corgi Toys model cars were in production. However, the club has ignited an interest in replica models of Corgi Toys from the mid-1950s to the late 1960s mainly to people like me who couldn't afford the originals when we were kids.
