This is a Brooklin replica (#35) from nearly 30 years ago, modelling the innovative and stylish Fairlane 500 Skyliner that featured a roof that disappeared into the trunk.

Mike, that is a nice early Brooklin. Great pictures in realistic settings. Love the ones with the blue sky in particular.

Fine photography of a nice older BRK.  Thanks, Mike.  I will confess to a preference for the Franklin Mint version.

This is a model I wish Brooklin would bring back as one of their high detailed models.
