Looks to have been parked in the sun on a blistering day? Steering wheel needs work.

Good one, John. One of my all time favorite models.

A beauty, John. Brings back a vivid memory for me.
Back in about 1955 when I was 10, my grandmother gave me money to go out and by a model car. I bought a plastic kit, possibly by Revell, of the Kaiser Darrin in that light green. I remember building it. Got more glue on the surfaces than at the required edges. I've actually never seen the actual car. It's one of the Brooklin Kaisers I do not have. Nice pictures, as usual, John.

I like them, too. I have both the mint green and the red versions, and always hoped that Brooklin would do it in yellow with a white up-top. It's an elegant little model, and fits right in on my shelf with the Muntz Jet, Nash-Healey, and Cunningham C3 (silver over blue, by John Roberts).
