The Brooklin booth at the Radnor Hunt Concours

John Kuvakas · 2022-09-12T13:03:53Z

Kelly and I hosted the Brooklin/NB Center booth at this councours in Malvern, PA, just south of Philadelphia. There were several thousand folks there, many of whom got their first look at Brooklin models including more than a few young future collectors to all of whom Kelly does such a great job of explaining the hobby. This is a realtively new area for our hobby, particularly for Brooklin. But the reaction of the crowd was overwhelmingly positive while there was literally no resitance to the prices, particulary for the V16 Cadillac engine, several of which were sold to...owners of Cadillac V16s. More than ever, I'm convinced wwe're just scratching the surface of brining potential new collectors into 1/43 as we move from a strictly 1/43 focus to anyone and everyone that loves automobiles and automobilia.There are a lot of pics here. Kelly is an amazing photographer. I thought our Forum43 folks would enjoy seeing how and where they were repesented this weekend.
