PICS. Another two from Brooklin; Old and Buick
The boys (and girls) from Bath have been at it again. The Olds Starfire Convertible is here, as is the Limited Edition '36 Buick Special in Black
I'm not a big fan of '60s American cars; I always thought they looked a bit bland compared with the extravagant creations of the '50s, but I have quite a liking for this one, more so than for the earlier Starfire Coup?. Issue numbers is limited to not more than 400 worldwide, so if you want one get one sooner rather than later. In answer to an eralier question, the interior is metallic grey (seats), and black door panels. The convertible also benefits from seperate door handles, windscreen surround/wipers, and door sill trim (unlike BRK60) which adds to its appeal.
The Buick is limited to a maximum of 300 models. Interior is pale tan with grey dash/fascia and black steering heel

You are quite right John
I looked at them originally in artificial light and they looked dark grey metallic. However on looking in sunlight, they are as you say, although I had to look closely. Apologies to all for the incorrect info'.

Brooklin has made great progress with there added attention to detail, but it would............
be really nice if they could take another step and start adding the outside side mirrors on the models. At least on the drivers side. I realize this takes time and would involve a couple extra steps, but I think it would be a worth while step in the right direction. Something to think about ! RANDY

Sometimes, door, or wing mirrors, are included, but always as a seperately packed part. I don't what inspires the inclusion on some models and not on others though. Possibly its what the 1:1 subject car has. Maybe that mine of information, John Roberts, knows the answer.
