+1 more! Really like the green interior with the Victoria White exterior.

Awesome. Gives me ideas about mine to liven it up a bit.

Inspired me enough to buy one today ! We will see what happens.

A work of art.

I agree. What a stunning customization.

Beautiful model! Congratulations on lovely work. This really is one of
Brooklin's best series of castings, from the Fiesta to the hardtops to the convertible. They certainly benefit from some excellent detailing work, as you've done here.

Thank you gentlemen for your nice comments

The only other improvement I'd suggest is maybe the
J-2 option. (I know, its subtle.)

An article on the Oldsmobile J-2 option is on the web, thanks to Hemmings.
It's from Hemmings Muscle Machines, Jan. 2005, and is entitled: "Outlawed by NASCAR: 1957 Oldsmobile J-2." Since this is an underhood 3 carb option, how will the Brooklin show its modification? Or did I miss something?
