Also one of my all time favorite Brooklins.

Another example?
It has always puzzled me that no other manufacturer has made a model of this classic, important Oldsmobile?

PICS - This one is an absolute favorite John, and it is prominently displayed in my collection.
This picture is used in automotive history talks that I give.

This Brooklin Olds lends itself beautifully to BMF amd and a bit of paint and is a stunning example of the Chrome Age.

Kudos to Brooklin for the excellent casting and to you John for posting your excellent pictures that reminded me to look anew at the model. Much appreciated.
Cheers and Happy Collecting and Posting,
Steve

Agreed !
One of GM's power trio for 1953.The others were the Buick Skylark and the Cadillac Eldorado.
The Cadillac and the Oldsmobile received the upcoming,for 1954,wrap-around windshield.The Buick retained the standard windshield.The Corvette was the only other to use the newer windshield for GM's 1953 line. All beautiful,but my personal picks would be the Skylark and Fiesta.
