PICs - From My Collection - '56 Buick 1956 Buick Century Riviera Hardtop Sedan
Issued by Brooklin Models in July 2020.
A Limited Edition of 199.
Sorry Brooklin, but this is not Tahiti Coral. After comparing the Buick Color Chart, I am going with Apricot, a spring color. I am good with that as this is an amazing model.
So, finished in Apricot, Dover White & Carlsbad Black.

The colors contrast so well; so representative of the era. Very nice model.

I definitely agree with you. At first I thought the color matched the 1/24th DM 1956 Road Master convertible I regret not buying. That I think was Tahiti Coral, the color Brooklin is calling the excellent new color offering.

Where did you find this tri-tones Buick, John? I did not see the Buick anywhere in America.
Even on Brasilia Press the distributor here and on the BRK website i have never see this Buick.

All of my Brooklin new releases come from...
Spa Croft Models in the UK. Mike is a great guy to deal with and I have been buying from him for sometime now. Always perfect.

Per Amanda, the first batch was sold out at Brooklin. The next batch includes shipment to Brasilia Press and from there to US dealers. Also included will be the 229 Pel Air convertible.

Gorgeous model! It matches the Buick apricot color chip perfectly.
I guess Brooklin only has to change the label on the next batch.

Apricot appears on the 1957 chart per Auto Color Library, but not 1956.
Am I missing something? Was the color a spring 1956 offering?
