BROOKLIN COLLECTORS CLUB

The 14th annual B.C.C. model set consists of two 1955 Chrysler C-300 (one to be restored) and a 1961 Chrysler Imperial Convertible top-down, finished in a deep red with a light beige interior and tonneau cover, and sports a tow bar under the rear bumper. It is obviously the car of a serious car collector as it is towing behind it a trailer on which sits the roughest looking Brooklin ever produced, a 1955 Chrysler C-300 two-door hardtop badly in need of restoration. The set, consisting of the 1961 Imperial, the two Chrysler C-300 and the trailer was titled "Found at Last" and had "BCC 2002" inscribed into the baseplates. A few are known with a darker shade of red.
