Thanks Mike for your efforts.

I was just last night doing research to find photos.
I thought that the 1955 Plymouth Belvedere was a convertible top down. I like the top up convertible version.
Merci beaucoup, Mike.

Michel, I think that Mike was just looking for a photo of a Belvedere convertible, and did not intend to state that Brooklin's Plymouth
will be a top-up convertible. I don't think that Brooklin has announced that the
top will be in the up-position on the model, although I suppose that it certainly
is possible.
Are you ordering one of the new Factory Special '63 Olds Starfires? That one
will have the top up, which I like because convertibles just didn't run around all
the time with their tops down. That's the way they were often seen on the
streets where I lived, since I didn't grow up in sunny California!

You're quite right Rick.
The reason I look for photos is because, over the years many people have asked me what are the cars that are being produced, i.e. what do they look like, so I started researching them. The idea of the photos is just to give a reasonable idea of what to expect, and to be quite honest, its fun doing it. I don't say that I get it right all the time, but mostly I do. Over here we Brits very often, haven't got a clue what the propsed American cars look like, and I imagine that its the same for you over there in many cases, when it comes to British cars , so I hope my little efforts go some way to help solve identification problems.

Rick, does that mean that I have to put my top up? Is it raining?

Randy, I sure hope not. There is a lovely 1934 Buick here in Atlanta that was rodded.
I get a little nauseous every time I see it.

I appreciate the pictures.
When I want to see what a Brooklin Model etc look like, I always go on your site in first. I like this because the model is viewed from all angles.
Merci beaucoup!

That's why I do it like that Michel.
I assume that one shot of a model is insufficient, and even more so for those who may want to buy a model without seeing it in the flesh first. Pleased you appreciate the pictures.
Merci aussi.
