BRK-BC-05

1937 Buick Special 4 door conv. phaeton

In the late Thirties four door convertibles. were plentiful but have rarely been produced since. They were beautiful but took two and a half men to put the top up. Very few miniatures have been built and even fewer with the top in the up position. So this is a very desireable piece to acquire for your collection. The model is "Sandringham Maroon" with light beige top UP, "suicide doors" white walls...Gorgeous.

BRK-159

Our CEO's first Car...'39 Mercury convertible

Our CEO's first car ! Brooklin did a coupe version of the first year of Mercury several years ago. Dave thought they would follow up with a convertible. When they didn't he had a professional modify Brooklin's coupe at considerable expense for his collection of cars he has owned and this beautiful result convinced Brooklin to finally do it. So now you can get one at Brooklin's regular modest price instead of what Dave paid. It just arrived Nov. l . Brooklin did it in Garnet Maroon.

FUJ-RS-76

Lamborghini Gallardo Concept S

Fujimi of Japan, well known for their kits, have stepped into the ready-built field with this awesome resin model that was built in a limited edition of only 500 for "Japan only". However we arranged to have a few hand carried to the USA This design was intended to be a modern adaption of the single-seat roadsters of the past. Utilizing a "saute-vent" (French for "change wind") instead of a traditional windshield, and dividing the interior into two distinct compartments, gives the car a distinct futuristic look. WE have only THREE left !

PED-01

"Looks just like Daddy's" 1953 Corvette pedal car

Go to our Home Page, click "About Us". Since then all the pedal cars we have seen have been caricatures of the real car they represent. But recently we found this very realistic looking 1953 Corvette and decided it met our criteria....Heirloom quality and highly collectible. A.B.S. plastic body, steel tubular frame, pneumatic tires, chain drive, hand brake, coaster lever, ball bearings,and adjustable 5 position seat. Each serially numbered with dash mounted brass VIN plate. Standard color White. Can be painted to match your real '53 Vette for $300 additional.
