Not a new model of BRK at all but in the past i did not buy the model and always regreted a bit and i found one at a good price. I am focused on the BRK models on the end of the thirthies and on the 40's presently and i am not disappointed.

That is a beautiful car, Michel, one of those earlier Brooklins that is still very appealing. It was nice when it first was released. It still is.

@michel-lemieux Their cars of this era are their best, IMHO.

I absolutely love the Brooklin models from the 30s & 40s. I think they are some of, if not the, finest models available for the genre. It has been my goal to acquire as many as I can. Each one is a thrill when it arrives. 

Your newest is one of my favorite models, but I am very fond of the LaSalle brand-so that contributes. There is a 5-window coupe available as well. It is Oxblood Maroon and is equally special.

Good luck in your finds as your seek other selections from Brooklin. I can honestly say that these models from the late 30s & 40s give me incredible satisfaction.

I agree with Harv and John. The Brooklin models of this era are highly detailed and much more delicate than their 50s and 60s era models IMO. To my eye, it's as though there were different mold makers doing these different eras. Every model in the Buick and Pontiac collections is absolutely superb as is this LaSalle.

Merci John. I buy it few months ago also from a local seller at a cheap price. I only find that there are a lot of color Maroon for the BRK'S of the 30's and 40's

Another 1930s acquisition from the Buick collection. The 1937 Buick special 2-door coupe M-46 Samara Beige Poly. I really like the model. It's a beauty.

Another great Buick of the ‘30’s is The 1936 Buick Special 4 door sedan. It’s the first family car I can remember . My dad’s was a nice ‘36 that he bought from his father-in-law after the war.  Brooklin’s Buick Collection is a beautiful range of models.

John Roberts built me a replica of my dad’s Moderne Gray ‘36 Buick.

 Can't resist to show (again) my version of the '36 Buick.  I made it from a damaged BRK model and inspiration of Monty McCord's book on police cars...

I really like the B.C.021 1938 Buick Special sport coupe M-46S Titian Maroon as well and i am thinking to buy one maybe but i am wonder which is the design difference between the BRK model of 1938 and the 1937? The calander looks a tiny different i think but for the rest by excluding the color and the continental kit, i don't see something else?
