<p>Scrolling through eBay late one night this past week, I came across this Brooklin, which I had never seen and didn’t even know existed, for $95 "Buy It Now". I bought it on the spot, then did a little research and found it was one of a very limited edition of only 350. </p>
<p>It arrived today in perfect condition and although old tech, and erroneous in the rendition of the two-tone paint scheme, I think it looks fantastic in the color combo!</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="23" data-end="644">The classic American luxury cars of the early 1930s still have the power to stop you in your tracks. From the flowing elegance of the 1933 Duesenberg Rollston JN Convertible Coupe to the sleek, sporting presence of the 1930 Cord L29 Roadster owned by Brook Stevens, each of these automobiles reflects an era when style, craftsmanship, and engineering were inseparable. Add in the stately sophistication of the 1933 Duesenberg Derham-bodied Model J and the dramatic performance pedigree of the 1935 Duesenberg Model SSJ Roadster, and you have four vehicles that represent some of the finest design work of the Classic Era.</p>
236019
<p data-start="646" data-end="1079">What makes them even more enjoyable to appreciate today is that Minimarque captured all four in gloriously detailed scale models. These are not just miniature cars; they are thoughtful tributes to some of the most beautiful and significant American automobiles ever built. From the sweeping fenders to the distinctive proportions and elegant coachwork, Minimarque managed to preserve the character of each original in miniature form.</p>
236020
236023
236021
236022
<p data-start="1081" data-end="1473" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">That achievement would be impressive at any time, but it is even more remarkable when you consider these models are now almost 30 years old. Their level of detail, presence, and fidelity still stand out today, which says as much about the quality of the models as it does about the timeless appeal of the cars themselves. In both full size and scale, these four classics remain unforgettable.</p>]]></content:encoded>
