Ben, Brooklin has already done the 48 Buick Roadmaster woody wagon. I have it in black with a red interior. As to the Nash Suburban, I have that in my collection by Victory Models and I believe Buz did it about a year ago in the Conquest line. I sincerely hope that going forward that Brooklin will be doing new models rather than remakes of those already done in the past by either themselves or others.
I would like to see Brooklin's fine artisans turn to the forgotten cars of the American period before the 1930's. As I find some pictures, I will try to add them here.
The Lexington of 1920
The Brush of around 1911
The Octoauto from about 1912 (Oops, sorry but it seems a company has already build this one as a model. I'm not sure of the company or scale.
Okay, I found many of this Reeves Actoauto on eBay at about $125, mostly from European and South American dealers. Brooklin probably should not do this one. Here's the most common designation:
Reeves Octoauto 1911 (USA) Green 1/43 Autocult 01015 auto cult

Bob, I would love to see Brooklin do a new casting for the next NBC model(s), but it is my understanding that, like the latest ones, they will be done using models that have already been done. Please, somebody chime in if I am mistaken.
I really wanted that Conquest Nash, but although Buz showed one in stock, I called him and he couldn't find it.
Ben, If the only Brooklins going forward are upgrades of those already done then I suspect my Brooklin purchases will be significantly reduced.

I was only specifying NBC models Bob.
I would imagine Brooklin is not done casting new models.

Very cool David....will you purchase it?
Brooklin will be making new models in 2022, both in the NB Center lineup and regular Brooklins. The next NB Center model will be the 1963 Buick Riviera. Then, we'll see a '46 Pontiac Torpedo 8, as per the votes cast by the attendees of NABCC 1. I believe the next new Brooklin will be the '61 Pontiac Catalina bubble top.

Well, I'm probably the odd man out but I would like to see more of their Promod kits. I enjoy building and modifying models and presumably the price point of kits will be considerably lower. Back the day I bought many Western Models as kits and built them all and modified some. Few of my Westerns were bought as full built ups. If there is concern that kits might be bought, then built, and passed on as factory built, I have no problem with clearly marking the base plate as a kit.

@ben-lampson No need to go overseas - Replicarz shows it in stock. And they are having a sale.
@bob-jackman I'm with you Bob, already have the '48 Nash woody by Conquest. However, and someone correct me if I'm wrong here, the NB Nash is a '47. I don't know what the external differences are, but this might be enough to push me over into wanting a BRK version. Maybe.
I agree with a statement above that I would rather see a subject that has not been made before, by anyone. As for a more detailed version of an existing Brooklin, it may not necessarily effect their values because the two editions will be at entirely different price points, and therefore appeal to entirely different collectors.
I would like to see the 2 tone green 46-47? Nash coupe and the dark grey early 40s Plymouth coupe done (although ideally a '40-41 DeSoto coupe would be preferrable). My favorite of all in the video is the '46 Pontiac but that is being done in 2022 which is great. I'm not into 20s and 30s cars so much at Brooklin prices and many of the 40s and 50s cars shown in the video of the NB collection have been done already in some form; which I have from Conquest and others.
