Message: PICS "Its Good News Week". Who remembers Hedghoppers Anonymous? Two superb, and colourful Brooklins arrived today; BRK228 1956 Buick Century Riviera 4 Door Hardtop, and BRK227x (Factory Special) 1957 Pontiac Safari 2 Door Station Wagon in new colours. The Buick is a beauty in Dover White and Bedford Blue (Sounds terribly British for an American Car). The seats are in the same colour. Best Brooklin yet, if a tad expensive at £170 ("Suggested Public Price"). Equally attractive is the '57 Pontiac Safari 2 Door Wagon in Seacrest Green Roof and body trim, over Limefire Green Body, with seats to match. Door panels are Seacrest Green with Limefire Green Dash top. Fascia is plated. This one has a "Suggested Public Price" of £175.00. The Pontiac is a Factory Special and is limited to 199 pieces. Grab one now if you want one. That's the Trailer, here's the Main Attraction...….the photos. 1956 BUICK CENTURY RIVIERA 4 DOOR HARDTOP 1957 PONTIAC SAFARI 2 DOOR STATION WAGON. . Hope these photos brighten up your weekend. Sorry about the caps Dick. They are just headings for the photos.
