PICS. BML06 is here and its another one of those superb Brooklin 1930s models, this time the '37 Studebaker Dictator Coup? in Grapestone Maroon with tan interior. I love that strangely shaped rear window,

I don't suppose you can blame
Brooklin for trying to get the most out of a pattern. Everybody does it, and it does help to keep the prices down, and the company in existence. I must admit, I'd not associated the two until Ed. pointed it out, but then again I don't collect USMM. Nice model though.

And as a result, we have the possibility of a great coupe that I don't think has ever been done before in our favorite scale. I applaud BRK for the results. Now was there a coupe convertible or maybe . . .

The Brooklin Coupe Express and the Dictator have one thing in common...
They're both 1937 Studebakers. Apart from that there is absolutely no connection. The Dictator is a completely new master, including all the small parts. A close comparison between the two models will show this.
