One of Oldsmobile's leaders, and also one of Brooklin's finest in their early years.

Have it, love it. I also have the red/white one but I was disappointed when Brooklin dechromed the divider trim between the two colors.

These are nice older Brooklins. I have only the red and white top up version. The blue one is very tempting and they are still available.

Once again a posting here inspired a purchase! I bought the blue one "new in box" at a great price on that auction site today! Thanks for the encouragement, guys!

I couldn't help but show mine too as this was one of the 1st Brooklins that I detailed.

Looks a lot like David's above and love the fact that little people occupy his.

A very cool and iconic 1950's representative.

FYI, Of all the special GM convertibles in 1953 the Olds is the rarest (458 units).  Cadillac Eldorados (532 units) and Buick Skylarks (1690 units) sold better.
