New project from Brooklin

I love old trucks and stake beds are cool! I like the green on this one too.

Love the colors and real wood.

This looks like a very well done model. I really like the "real wood" box. You rarely find this in a model of this scale. While the model looks great, it is not something that I would collect.I believe 1930 trucks have a limited following across the broad base of collectors. The remaining Brooklin collectors are not being drawn to stock early 1930s America cars.This is reflected in the prices of these models on the secondary market. Brooklin has been doing a great job lately with subject matter ie: the '54 Packard, the '69 Camaro.All sellouts because they appeal to the broad base. I think the '34 Ford street rod with engine would be in high demand also due to its uniqueness.This model would definitely be scooped up by serious truck collectors but in very small quantities. No disrespect, just my honest opinion.

Very cool, I'd be interested in this one. 

@kenspear My feelings as well Ken.

I will make my comment here similar to the one I made on Facebook. I will probably not buy one, since I generally do not collect pre-WW2 model cars and trucks. I think this is a good idea for Brooklin, since it will pair nicely with the Sinclair truck, which was a sellout. Nothing against green, but I would make it a different color. Add some appropriate era graphics and maybe something in back, and it should sell well.

I would like to see a 1934 Ford station wagon as Brooklin already has a start with some pieces of the coupe they have already made. Unfortunately I'm don't have an interest in the stake bed truck.

I think a '32 Ford stake-bed truck would sell well, provide they:

- Allow for the removal of the sides - to create a flat bed or any combination thereof.

- Keep colors "authentic."   No "loud"  colors, or fancy painted wheels.

- I'm NOT certain real wood is necessary.  It's a NICE touch, but durable, less expensive options might prove more practical.  🤔  

Thanks for the heads-up John (and Simon ) it's always nice to see behind the scenes.   😏 

This truck is excellent and does a fine job in capturing the look of that vehicle. It can form the basis for several releases.

I would buy it just for the novelty of real wood!  Plus a real bonus would be the removeable panels to make it a flatbed, if possible...

Not great photos but here is a 1932 Ford stake truck along with a 1935 Dodge.  The Ford is a Unique Replicas bought in 2007 at a train show.  The Dodge is a Brooklin modification replica of a 1:1 truck a car club member owns.  They have removable side panels.

And here is a 1948 Ford stake truck.

All 3 are great John, the older two remind me of prohibition and "The Untouchables."  😏 😏 

Ironically,  the main reason those who buy Brooklin models is because they are heavy and don't care much about accuracy. Now, this new offer would be lighter with wood components !!!!!  What are they thinking? 

My opinion ..... create something new and bring us a quality metal gas pumps Collection as Danbury Mint did in 1/24 scale. We  need accessories for our displays.

@nickies 

I agree with you about the gas pumps. They did the Sinclair ones, so most of the tooling/ mold work should be done. The separate center sign would have to be re-done for a different shape logo.
