Hello there! More cars have appeared on the benches this week. Back to what we know and love.

The standard 1940 Cadillac V16 Convertible Coupe was released in 1983 and deleted in February 1994. It is finished in bronze with beige interior, beige roof, green license plate and whitewall tyres. Several color shades were produced from light to very dark bronze.     CANADIAN TOY COLLECTORS SOCIETY The C.T.C.S. chose the 1940 Cadillac V16 Convertible as the basis for their Greatest Collectors Toy Show special in 1983.

It has been a fairly slow week for cars here at BM as we have been finishing up a few other projects from last year. More ‘Broom Brooms’ are coming in the near future.

These January diets don’t get any easier as the years go by, do they!? At least being back at work is helping to keep us moving.

The standard 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible was released in May 1994 and deleted in January 2005. It is finished in seaspray green with two tone green interior, white license plate and whitewall tyres. A small batch of approximately 50 Thunderbirds has come out of the factory in 1996 with the wrong color inserts for the seats, mid green instead of whitish green. A different color shade was produced in 2001....

A very happy new year to you from the Brooklin Models Team. We are already off to a flying start at the factory and ready to make 2021 better than ‘The year that must not be named’.

The first 1956 Lincoln Continental MK II was produced in 1981 in black with red interior and blue license plate in a limited number. The first standard edition can be identified in the dark blue metallic version with red interior and blue license plate, followed by several shades of blue with white interior and yellow license plate. Most of the varieties are seen with both thick and thin seats. These...

“Sleigh-bells ring are you listening…” Awww we love Christmas here. We have had festive music blasting out all week. It has helped us through the copious amounts of gluing plastic. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for joining us each week and to wish you a very happy Christmas/holiday.

The Mk Il Ford Consul, Zephyr and Zodiac were announced on February 21st 1956. Convertible versions of all three models were available right from the launch. The new cars had clean modern lines, which owed a great deal to their American Ford cousins. In February 1959 the range was revamped with the introduction of the low line models. These utilized a flatter roof pressing and minor trim differences. The 1962...

We love Xmas here at BM HQ. But until that magical holiday starts we are getting the last of this years production schedule sorted out. The Buick Rivieras are being assembled and we have been sanding LOTS of resin pieces for a model engine.

The 1931 Hudson Greater 8 was produced in 1981, early in Brooklin’s history, with Murray-designed "boat-tail" body done in a beautiful combination of orange with ivory fenders, blacked-out grille and foot treads in black on the running boards. The windshield frame is plated, as are the covers for the fender spares. These covers were removed in the final years of production with a dark orange color. Other details include louvers...

‘Do-Do Do Do Do…another month bites the dust’. Yes it is Decembery-time! We don’t have our xmas meal to look forward to but we will make up for it with snacks and treats throughout the month.
