There has been some recent discussions about Brooklin FS models.

I hope this helps some Brooklin collector out there.

What about the BRK '63 Olds Starfire convertibles, both the rose-colored one and the black top-up version? I can't find them in any BRK catalog. Weren't they Factory Specials? I have hoped for years that the annual BRK catalog would list all the FS models, but to date they haven't.
I sold my taupe one to David Knight, so perhaps David can post the number on the box. I have the black one, but it is in an unmarked box as it was detailed by John Roberts---it has a nifty removable up-top with convertible boot so it can be displayed with the top up or down, but it isn't in an original BRK box. What are the official BRK numbers assigned to the two Starfires, anyone know?
Thanks.

The Red/White one is BRK 39X, while a factory special, it does not have a FS number.
There are three versions of the BRK 39, the standard, one for Modelex 1996 & one for the BCC 1998.

Sorry, these all 1953 models. The rose 1963 Olds was BCC for 2006.
The black standard was released in 2011.
