Tri-tone 56 Buick.
According to an email I received from Brooklin weeks ago, none of these were any longer available directly from them. According to Brooklin, these models had been shipped to distributors in the supply chain but I am not aware of any dealers in the States who have received them. What gives?

As I understand it Joe,
Brooklin have run out of the first run of Buicks. More wiII be produced soon. I don't know if the US has received the model yet.

Does that mean none of them have been shipped here at all?

I always order my new releases from SpaCroft Models. Mike provides A+ service and a bonus, which I think is really cool.

I didn't realize that production was so limited.
And why Brooklin wouldn't tell me that?

Tri-tone Buick. Joe, I spoke with the distributor today, and ordered....
a couple of other models. We discussed the tri-tone Buick and it should arrive here in a week to 10 days. I don't have a price at this time. I think they will go quickly, and I don't know how many are in the shipment.

Thank you John, for your kind comments.

Most, if not all of the recolours, are limited to 199. If the catalogue number has the suffix X then its limited, i.e BRK228X in the case of the Buick, and the original model stays on the catalogue. An A suffix indicated that that model replaces the original issue as in BRK83A, Ford V8 Station Wagon. That's what I've been told

Pleased you like the bonus John. I quite enjoy making them up.
