My new old BRK 4: the '37 Chevrolet coupe (pic)
I had a good day today with the arrival of this new (to me) Brooklin model. Through Dick's informative posting, I ordered this one at a good price from EWA. This is one that I missed over the years and I never found one in the condition or at the price that met my needs, wants, and inclinations. This one was new in the box, unusual since production stopped in 1985 after starting (in the UK) in 1976. Thank you, Mr. Moderator. I am once again indebted to you for your guidance.
As I started to place the Chevy in a display cabinet, my '33 Buick coupe caught my eye. This is a recent BRK 133 of 2007-2008 and is one of my favorite of newer Brooklin releases. I just had to place the two together to observe the changes in Brooklin over more than twenty years of model making.
Chrome, better window placement, more realistic headlights . . that's just some of what I spotted. I also think the Buick is closer to 1:43 in scale than the smaller Chevy, but I'll leave that up to those of you who measure.
But one thing hasn't changed: Both of these models capture for me the essence of the cars that were all over the place when I was a boy. Well, the Chevy was more common than the Buick, but my big brother had a black Buick just like this one. Enjoy!
