The windshield frame is plated, as are the covers for the fender spares. Other details include louvers just below the radiator, rivets on the hood, markings for a jump seat in the rear and a step on the right-rear fender. This first edition has a silver detailed dashboard. This model is a beautiful representation of the "Hollywood speedsters" of the 1930's, driven by Rudolph Valentino and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. The model was deleted in April 1993. </div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"><br /></div><b>BRK 172 - 1937 Lincoln Le Baron Convertible Sedan - Dark Blue / Tan livery</b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Lincoln, the luxury flagship of the Ford Motor Company, produced just 977 automobiles in its regal Model K line as it emerged from the Great Depression, across an amazing 21 body styles. The low production total ensures that some individual designs can be exceptionally rare, and this is one of them. According to most informed estimates, Lincoln assembled just 12 examples of the Model K in 1937 fitted with body style 363-A, the LeBaron four-door, five-passenger Convertible Sedan.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In 1937, the man who owned this Lincoln Le Baron Convertible Sedan was at the top of his game! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This model Brooklin Model - Save the rubber tires, the windows, and the plastic interior and top, the whole shebang is done in painted, polished, or otherwise prettied-up white metal. That includes the wee door and trunk handles, the wheels, the radiator grille, both bumpers, and even the greyhound that rises off the top of the radiator shell.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This deep blue model is a charmer. I love the quality of these things; the paint (a new, water-borne process only recently put into use at Brooklin’s Bath, England factory) is nearly flawless, and it’s accented by the tightly-placed, tidily installed trim all over the car. Wide whitewalls fill the wheel arches perfectly, and the Lincoln that sits on the tabletop in scale is just as snazzy and elegant as the real thing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A lack of side windows allows a peek into the cabin, and it’s got good representative detail on the dash and seats; there’s a proper steering wheel and a floor shifter, but don’t look for readable gauges or the like.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Is the lack of interior detail a deal breaker? Nope, and here’s why: These cars aren’t about gee-whiz detailing and get-the-magnifier working features. They’re about a fan base centered around a well-loved, distinctive line, hand-built by a tightly organized, passionately focused crew who know their collectors, and know them well. But I surely do know what I like, and I’m liking this little Lincoln a lot.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

First shown at the Geneva Auto Salon in 1938, this is one of just two or three Packards that were bodied by Graber along with three Duesenbergs.Swiss coachbuilder Graber bodied this American Packard 120 chassis. The car was originally sold and titled in Switzerland.</div><div> </div><div>This 1938 Packard, a 127-inch wheelbase “junior” Eight, is among the latter. It was bodied by Graber for the 1938 Geneva Auto Salon, and its body virtually duplicates, albeit to a smaller scale, one built for a Model J Duesenberg, number J-246. The body was ahead of its time, as the lines include sweeping French-inspired pontoon fenders with fully skirted rear wheels and a single tailfin dropping down the rear deck lid. The hood is covered in dozens of small louvers, and beautiful hints of chrome trim appear everywhere.</div><div><br /></div><div>For many years this car was lost but turned up about twenty years ago in a cinder block garage in Switzerland. Unrestored, it was taken to the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in the Pre-War Preservation Class. The paint was tired but all else was intact. I restoration followed with the car returning to Pebble Beach in 2011 to win Best in Class. This was followed in 2012 where it scored 100 points at the CCCA Annual Meeting.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Wonderful GLM model is highly detailed in top quality. Black painting with chrome trim is stunning. A great model, though not a "diecast" metal one.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><br /></div>

Following a GM practice of first debuting special features such as the later panoramic windshield and hard-top body styles on senior models, the 48 employed new styling with a lowered hood line that converged toward a higher fender line. Oldsmobile called its new model “Futuramic“.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-size: 14.7px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Oldsmobile's revolutionary 1949 'hard-top convertible coupe' was modeled by Brooklin in 1998. Brought out in a Praline Brown Poly over Tawnee Beige, it enjoyed a short production run of 16 months; this was during a time that GM wanted scale model manufacturers to pay royalties to the large company for the use of its images. Brocklin's model is, of course, based on the Series 98 and is a credible albeit simply detailed replica.</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">It is typical of later Brooklin products, in that well-proportioned with accurate styling, major details cast into the body or picked out with chrome parts, durable parts, and a solid feel to it. It has a fully chromed trim. The interior once again, is simplest has accurately-shaped seats, steering wheel and dashboard.</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">In 2005 Brooklin issued its 114th model, a mid-blue 1949 Oldsmobile 88 Club Coupe with light blue wheels and whitewall tires. An accurately proportioned scale model, it has separate chromed windshield wipers, hood mascot, hood emblem, and door handles, rocker panel molding and hefty chrome stone shield all of there own." on each rear fender. It is a very nicely made model that Brookin also introduced as a California Highway Patrol cruiser in its International Police Vehicle line. In black with the 'CHIPS' emblem made. prominently displayed on each of the vehicle's white doors, the model appears to be historically authentic. The Highway Patrol usually purchased one type of car each year for its fleet, usually a heavier high-powered automobile that would hug the road</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span></p><table border="1" bordercolor="#888" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-color: rgb(136, 136, 136); border-width: 1px; margin: 0px;"><tbody><tr><td style="height: 20px; vertical-align: top; width: 132px;">Manufacturer:</td><td style="height: 20px; vertical-align: top; width: 114px;"> Brooklin Models</td></tr><tr><td style="height: 20px; vertical-align: top; width: 132px;"> Scale:</td><td style="height: 20px; vertical-align: top; width: 114px;"> 1/43</td></tr><tr><td style="height: 20px; vertical-align: top; width: 132px;"> Year of Production:</td><td style="height: 20px; vertical-align: top; width: 114px;"> 1998-2000</td></tr><tr><td style="height: 20px; vertical-align: top; width: 132px;"> Part Number:</td><td style="height: 20px; vertical-align: top; width: 114px;"> BRK 073</td></tr><tr><td style="height: 20px; vertical-align: top; width: 132px;"> Material:</td><td style="height: 20px; vertical-align: top; width: 114px;"> White Metal</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: top;"> Rating:</td><td style="vertical-align: top;"> 9/10 </td></tr></tbody></table></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkf9kpvwCDsHTHGMNI_7-pnpQ96E2dXWe0ZKLOjI_VLkexYghbdfcyXnyUMxqXV7AsxyjuQrQhHnZwvUZsHBbNwyjAagqlUQjXAEgfuwwRNJm_ZQ8u18Ddz7Nwwy4CGPpiZmASI1x5wbCmacfMwFTjc8NJVDiOf4ysePG2bH2rqlr70OO7f_ie9WHo/s289/separator.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="13" data-original-width="289" height="13" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkf9kpvwCDsHTHGMNI_7-pnpQ96E2dXWe0ZKLOjI_VLkexYghbdfcyXnyUMxqXV7AsxyjuQrQhHnZwvUZsHBbNwyjAagqlUQjXAEgfuwwRNJm_ZQ8u18Ddz7Nwwy4CGPpiZmASI1x5wbCmacfMwFTjc8NJVDiOf4ysePG2bH2rqlr70OO7f_ie9WHo/w685-h13/separator.png" width="685" /></a></div><br /><b><br /></b><p></p><p><br /></p>golfmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00197664082928733527noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8534230085654283745.post-88029063984847548462022-02-01T18:14:00.017+01:002022-02-08T18:43:23.103+01:001965 Chevrolet Impala Convertible Removable Soft Top by Brooklin ModelsBRK 223X 1965 Chevrolet Impala Convertible Removable Soft Top

The Chevrolet Impala was an extremely popular car, redesigns in 1965 saw the
fourth generation of the Impala and set an all time industry annual sales record

<span style="color: #990000;">1937 Dodge Airflow Tanker Texaco Truck by Matchbox Collectibles</span></h3>
<div>
The Dodge Airflow truck was a special request model truck that Dodge introduced in late 1934 and available through 1940. It used styling cues from Chrysler and DeSoto Airflow automobiles. Most of the units produced, a few hundred, were fitted with streamlined tank truck bodies, and were used by major oil companies, like Texaco, Socony-Vacuum Oil Company (Mobil) and Esso (Standard Oil of New Jersey).</div>
<div>
Airflow trucks were based on standard Dodge models, so from an engineering point of view they were rather conventional, despite their striking look. They had waterfall grilles similar to Airflow cars. Several pieces still exist, mostly restored in automobile museums.<br />
In 1990's, Matchbox honored THE PIONEERS OF PROGRESS TRUCKS COLLECTION in their Models of Yesteryear by presenting 6 die cast replicas. One of them is this model in bright red color with high quality paint finish and print graphic.<br />

<b><span style="color: #990000;">1952 DeSoto Firedome 8 Sedan by Franklin Mint</span></b><br />
<br />
The DeSoto Deluxe is an automobile produced by DeSoto from 1939 through to the 1952 model year. While in production, the Deluxe was DeSoto's entry-level car, and was offered primarily as two-door and four-door sedans. The Deluxe range also included the extended-wheelbase Suburban sedan. The body was claimed to be "rust proofed".<br />
The Firedome was powered by a Hemi V8 engine producing 160 hp (120 kW) and had a top speed of 100 mph (160 km/h).<br />
The 1952 DeSoto 4-door Sedan was available as a DeLuxe, Custom and Firedome 8. In all, 45,830 Firedomes sold in 1952, making it the most popular model for the year.<br />
Franklin Mint's beautiful model is made to the highest possible quality at the time of production. Plenty of chrome parts, including window frames, trim and ornaments. Printed logos, signs and legible lettering. Detailed interior in two-color design including color steering wheel and incredible amount of chrome details like handles instruments etc. The chromed grille of the mask is absolutely wow. The model is in the original color DeSoto Golf Blue.<br />

An automobile marque of the Ford Motor Company, Mercury was founded in 1939 with the purpose to market entry-level-luxury vehicles that were slotted in between Ford-branded regular models and Lincoln-branded luxury vehicles. All Mercury models are today based on Ford platforms. The Mercury name is derived from ‘messenger of the gods' of Roman mythology. In the beginning years, Mercury was known for performance.<br />
<br />
This Mercury Monterey (model 72C) was introduced in 1950 as a high-end two-door coupe as part of the Mercury Eight series in the same vein as the Ford Crestliner, the Lincoln Lido coupe and the Lincoln Cosmopolitan Capri coupe in order to compete with the hardtop coupes General Motors had introduced the previous model year.<br />
This is the first 2-door Hardtop 1951<br />
The 1951 Mercury’s are considered the all-time 50’s “Hoodlum” or “Bad Boy” car. Popularized by James Dean in the 1955 movie Rebel Without a Cause (in black livery).<br />
<br />
Franklin Mint model is painted as original in turquoise with a brown roof, it’s equipped with bumper guards, fender skirts, a winged hood mascot, full-size Mercury wheel covers and wide whitewall tires, all part of the Monterey formula helping to differentiate a higher-end vehicle from lesser models.<br />

Surprisingly, one of the most beautiful bodies of Duesenberg was not created in the US but was made to order in England.<br />
This speedster with chassis number 2614 J-585 has a really interesting history. The voluptuous speedster body was designed by A. F. McNeil and built by J. Gurney Nutting & Co. Ltd. in the fashionable Chelsea district in London for Maharaja Holkar of Indore, India and commissioned through a British sales agent R.S.M Automobiles Ltd of London.<br />
Now about that futuristic master dandy (which he really was!), Maharaja Yeshwantrao Holkar II. He ruled Indore State from 1926 to 1961. Yeshwantrao Holkar was known as a true automobile connoisseur with probably the most extraordinary collection of cars in India! Not to forget that he was also a major international collector of the finest art, such as architecture, artefacts and jewelry, all designed in the futuristic ‘Modern style’ or Art Deco, which was also to be found in his cars.<br />
Maharaja always had a passion for the best cars. His stable include several Rolls Royce's , Bentley's, Delage D8S by Figoni, Pierce Arrow, Bugatti, Bentley, Hispano Suiza etc. In 1936 at the age of 27, the Maharaja ordered three superb cars, a 4.5-litre V12 Lagonda drophead coupé, a Bentley Aerofoil coupé, and this open SJ Duesenberg, all finished in the striking Holkar colours of Sunglow orange and Black.<br />
Destined for a life of royalty, the Gurney Nutting Speedster was built with unique, lavish features including a like chrome flagsticks, as well as red and blue lights on the front fender to indicate whether the Maharaja (red) or Maharani (blue) was driving the vehicle.<br />
Upon its completion, the Duesenberg was delivered to the Maharaja’s mansion in Santa Ana, California due to fears of Japan invading India. After the tension in the region dropped, the automobile was shipped to India, then disappearing over time and thought to be lost until its rediscovery in 1959. The outstanding car was brought back to the U.S., eventually acquired by General Lyon and now resides in the Lyon Air Museum - Santa Ana, CA.<br />
<br />
TSM (True Scale Models) has released a very accurate and beautifully made resin-cast model of the car in its current form that’s as gorgeous as the original. The two-tone paint is excellent and every piece of trim, even the tiny Maharajahs flags, is done with plated or photo-etched parts. If it’s visible in photos, its visible—and to scale—on the model! Interior detail is done to the same level, with accurate upholstery, black-painted relief interior handles, fully detailed instruments, pedals, built-in license plate holder, dual fuel tanks, and single-bar bumpers. This is a beautiful model of a drop-dead gorgeous car. The only inaccurate detail is a little bit oversized Duesenberg ornament on the radiator.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately this beautiful model is sold out. TSM also produces this type in Silver Old-Time livery, but it's not pretty at all. The Duesenberg collectors must have this Maharaja Sunglow orange and Black. Happy collecting!<br />

This wonderful one-off Duesenberg SJ was built for Barbara Hutton, the heiress to the Woolworth fortune. Hutton was well known for her extravagant generosity, and the car presented here is a fitting example of her remarkable largesse. It was a gift for Serge M'Divani, the brother of her lover Alexis M'Divani.<br />
The famed M'Divanis were the children of Soviet Georgian nobles who fled Russia during Wold War One. Prince Serge M'Divani had settled in the US and his brothers were connected to some of the wealthiest women in America and were known to marry each other's former lovers and even former wives.Such was the situation that led to the construction of this magnificent Duesenberg.<br />
<br />
Every coachbuilder has a design that clearly stands above the others for its use of proportion, daring construction methods and harmony of theme and detail. Among Duesenberg enthusiasts, coachbuilding connoisseurs and designers, this one-off SJ Roadster is hailed as the most successful Bohman & Schwartz design for the Duesenberg chassis and an absolute triumph in the art of coachbuilding.<br />
<br />
This car gem is beautifully replicated by Matrix. We can only congratulate on the result. All the details are here including beautiful lines and an impressive deep maroon color matching the original.<br />
Unfortunately, hardly accessible model (only 400 produced pieces), as well as the original from coach builder Bohman & Schwartz.<br />

The Oldsmobile 88 is a full-size car that was sold and produced by Oldsmobile from 1949 until 1999 and became the top-selling line for twenty-four years.<br />
This Oldsmobile 88 is the 3rd generation. Styling highlights were more evolutional than radical overall with three-piece rear window styling utilized on this car.<br />
Oldsmobiles from 1957 are instantly, profoundly fascinating, no matter what model range you mean because every single one of them turned its back on the fin frenzy, instead bringing to market a luxuriantly rolling tunnel of sheetmetal resting atop each rear fender, proudly crowning a creased-in character line, the pipeline for an imaginary surfer, it almost seems to appear. It’s only the most immediately obvious trait of a continuous, ovoid styling theme that also incorporates the enormous, chromed bumper and grille combination, the headlamp surrounds, and, after a fashion, the three-piece backlight. The Oldsmobile shared its hardtop styling with Buick's Caballero. Sedans and coupes had twin ridges that ran each side of the roofline and onto the rear deck. These divided opinion at the time.<br />
Rose Mist Poly paint matches Alcan White perfectly, and there’s lots of separate chrome-plated trim, right down to the strong side curves that are slightly recessed into the body. That trim was often used to separate eye-grabbing two-toned schemes, like this. Brooklin also made a single color Jade Mist Poly, which is not nearly as nice.<br />

In February of 1935 this particular Model JN, chassis 2587, would arrive from Rollston in New York with a new Berline body.<br />
On the 9th of July 1935, Duesenberg Sales Corporation would sell this particular chassis to Bill "Bojangles" Robinson for the sum of S 17.500. Just like that, two graceful artists would be united.<br />
By the following year, the JN would be in Pasadena, California at the coach builders of Bohman & Schwartz. It would be there to receive some updates, like the Cadillac bullet headlamps and special parking lights. Other additions would include a reworked windscreen,<br />
and one-piece bumpers.<br />
Robinson and his Model JN were practically inseparable. Often the two wold be seen together, and, when Robinson returned to New York years later, the model JN was sitting at the famed New York garage Zumbach Motor Repair Company on West 53rd Street. The car would be to undergo service and repairs. As a $900 repair bill was still owed on the Duesenberg, Robinson’s widow sold the aging car to actor, singer, and nightclub entertainer Phil Regan. Regan keep the car until 1951, when it first passed into the hands of collectors and it was first restored between the years of 1966 and 1970. The car has since been carefully preserved and very well cared for.<br />
Fortunately, this Duisenberg Berline still exists and Matrix has released a very accurate and beautifully made resin-cast model of the car in its current form that’s as gorgeous as the original. The brown metallic paint is excellent and in this color is painted also radiator and bullet headlamps and parking lights.Wheels are simply gorgeous, made exclusively for this model, which is uncommon for 1/43.<br />
This is a beautiful model of a gorgeous car. Lovers of the Duesenberg, you must have.<br />

After World War II, Cadillac, like most manufacturers, returned to production with a modified version of its 1942 design and engineering. This basic formula would remain in production, with some detail changes, through 1947, and it was incredibly popular with buyers for its combination of power and luxury.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cadillac in 1947 was poised to become America's luxury leader. Unlike Lincoln and Packard, which persisted with Depression-inspired medium-price cars, Cadillac returned to pure luxury to prosper in booming postwar America. Soon, Cadillac pulled even further ahead of rivals in both sales and prestige.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is second generation of Cadillac Series 62 - full size luxury sedan with most massive grill ever. The Series 62 used the fat bullet fenders that were just coming into fashion in the early 1940s. "Pontoon" styling, new for '42, was making its final appearance, and Cadillac's smooth 346-cubic-inch L-head V-8 was in its next-to-last year. </div>

Brooklin’s hand-built white-metal beauty is this very well-done model of the best-selling ’47 Series 62, the 4-Door Sedan. The Franch Gray paint is smooth and glossy and is set off by lots of separate bright chromed parts. Overall lines are right on the money, as are major dimensions. It’ll be a while before anyone else does one of these – especially this well. </div>

<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Ford had its Country Squire, Mercury had its Colony Park, and when Edsel made its debut for 1958, it would have its own deluxe Bermuda Station Wagon. Like its counterparts from the other Ford Motor Company divisions, the 1958 Edsel </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Launched amid a colossal advertising campaign, Ford’s Edsel brand—named for the late son of company founder Henry Ford—was a short-lived venture intended to fill the price gap between Ford- and Mercury-branded cars. As one sales executive recalls, the Edsel was “the car for the young man on his way up.”</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 17.6px;">
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">The Bermuda represented the highest trim level available within the Edsel brand for a station wagon,</span></div>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"> </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">In addition to deluxe interior appointments, the Bermuda also was outfitted with simulated wood panels and frames, a hallmark of premium station wagon models produced by Ford and Mercury. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">To separate the Bermuda from Ford models, the Bermuda received Edsel's front fascia and vertical grille assembly as well as unique boomerang-shaped taillights. The shape of the taillights posed a problem when used as turn indicators – the left hand taillight appeared as an arrow pointing right and vice versa from a distance.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">The model from Minichamps displayed the signature Edsel horse-collar grille, au courant wood-grain side trim, and boomerang-shaped taillights—an ill-conceived design element found on real Edsel wagons. The spectacular body’s lines are reproduced perfectly. Only 1,008 units produced, but still available on eBay.</span><br />

<br />
The Chrysler New Yorker is an automobile model which was produced by Chrysler from 1940 to 1996, serving for several years as the brand's flagship model. The New Yorker name helped define the Chrysler brand as a maker of upscale models priced and equipped above mainstream brands like Ford, Chevrolet/Pontiac, and Dodge/Plymouth, but below full luxury brands like Cadillac, Lincoln and Packard. During the New Yorker's tenure, it competed against upper level models from Buick, Oldsmobile and Mercury.<br />
Chrysler’s signature sporting open car for 1941 was the New Yorker Convertible, of which production was limited to only 1,295 units. This model had a base price of $1,548, which put it at the upper-end of the medium priced cars of the day. Like all 1941 Chryslers, styling was quite dramatic.<br />
<i>Art Deco styling</i> was the theme of this cars design, where streamlining was paramount. and this release in Brooklin’s series makes it easy to see why. Steeply-raked vee windshields were complemented by sharply pointed hoods. Grilles blended into the bodywork’s sculpted fenders with bright beltline moldings and chrome parking light housings atop the front fenders. The grille consisted of five horizontal chrome bars which wrapped around the front, reaching all the way to the leading edge of the front wheelhouses. Legible relief-cast Chrysler script is painted over, but everything else is here - lot of chrome-plated pieces, matt black stone guards and wide whitewall tires.<br />
Brooklin model is a 1941 Chrysler New Yorker convertible finished in Tacoma Cream with a black convertible top.<br />

The DeSoto (sometimes De Soto) is an American automobile marque that was manufactured and marketed by the DeSoto Division of the Chrysler Corporation from 1928 to the 1961 model year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Due to the outbreak of World War II, all United States automobile production stopped in February of 1942 and car manufacturers shifted to building items for the war effort. Domestic car production did not resume until March of 1946 with cars that appeared little changed from the 1941-1942 models. A surprise newcomer to the field was the eight-passenger DeSoto Suburban, which arrived in November of 1946 and was produced unchanged through mid-1949. It was designed as the ultimate in stylish transportation for hotels, airports, and large families. Its unique folding seats allowed for several combinations of passengers and cargo, much like present-day mini vans.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The 1946-1948 DeSoto Custom Suburban was the most expensive of the 1946-1948 DeSoto line. The grille had "Teeth" that would remain a DeSoto trademark up to 1955.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This model DeSoto is from WhiteBox line. WhiteBox is apparently a house brand from Model Car World, a retailer in Florsheim, Germany.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
WhiteBox is low budget model line, on this model it is evident. Under a white top also shines through red base color. Very thin chrome on bumpers, chrome sometimes completely missing (see photo). Generally chrome trim is replaced with only a cheaply looking silver print strips. Weaknesses completes askew-glued crest on the rear lid and simple interior. The only advantage of this interesting model is a nice color combination Royal Maroon / White.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Sorry, this is the second model WhiteBox that disappointed me, and I'm not going into other WhiteBox in the future invest. </div>

The Cadillac Eldorado is a personal luxury car that was manufactured and marketed by Cadillac from 1953 to 2002. This model is third generation of the most expensive GM car.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The nameplate Eldorado is a contraction of two Spanish words that translate as "the gilded (i.e., golden) one" — and also refers to El Dorado, the mythical South American "Lost City of Gold" that fascinated Spanish explorers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The top-of-the line Cadillac Eldorado, this model marked a significant change in style for the Cadillac. There were two different roof lines and roof pillar designs. The grill featured a jeweled styling with matching deck lid beauty panels, and of course there were the distinctive taillights and tail fins. - David Holls's famous tailfins, the largest ever installed on an American production car.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Biarritz models had the Eldorado name spelled out behind the front wheel opening and featured broad, full-length body sill highlights that curved over the rear fender profile and back along the upper beltline region.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Eldorado featured the ultimate Cadillac engine for 1959, the enlarged 390cid V8, topped by three two-barrel Rochester carburetors. This produced 345hp and was mated to a 3-speed Hydramatic automatic transmission as standard equipment. The Biarritz Convertible was Cadillac's most expensive open-air car for 1959, and just 1,320 examples were built.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There can be no doubt that the world of aviation had a profound influence on the designers at Cadillac. Cadillac was the first to introduce fins on a car, with the P-38 style tail fins of the late 1940s models. In 1959, airplanes had become an every-day thing, and the space program and rockets were now big news. The 1959 Cadillac Eldorado boasted the tallest tail fin ever found on a production vehicle at 45 inches in height, and the bullet-style twin taillights, all reminiscent of rocketry. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The 1951-1954 Packard Patrician was the automaker's newly named top-line standard sedan in the early '50s. Along with other models, it carried the firm's first complete redesign since the Clipper of a decade earlier. The word “patrician” is Latin for a rulling class in Ancient Rome.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The shape of the Patrician, which designer John Reinhart named "high pockets," didn't wear particularly well, however. There was no criticizing the Patrician's integrity, though -- it was beautifully built, comfortable in the Packard tradition, and surprisingly fast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Most buyers thought it dull and uninteresting next to the tailfinned Cadillac V-8s and the very roadable Lincolns of these years, and spent their money accordingly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Patrician for 1953-54 was premium, four-door sedan, outfitted with high-grade upholstery and the highest level chrome trimming, including new side trim, hooded chrome headlight bezels and cloisonné hubcap centers. The Patrician, as the senior Packard in the 1954 model year, was equipped with the finest nine main bearing, 359 cubic-inch straight-8 engine, producing 212 horsepower. This was the final year that Packard would use the straight-8.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This Brooklin Model is, I believe, the first model of the Patrician in any scale, and Brooklin has done it very well, with authentic Matador Maroon paint, an accurate shape and details, and dead-on dimensions. There’s a wealth of carefully fitted chrome-plated parts on this Packard; the new slimmer cormorant mascot is especially well done as the small C-pillar medallion and small chrome tailfins. Only the relief-cast window surround sand tiny rear fender scripts have been painted over. Big wide white walls and hand-painted red Packard “Hexads” in the wheel covers add to the model’s realistic look. Model has correctly painted the dash in body color, but the silver-painted instrument cluster’s accurate gauge faces and other dash details haven’t been picked out. And while the two- tone upholstery looks quite nice, there are no handles, cranks, or arm rests on the inner door panels. These are small sour notes against a very well played song; Brooklin’s ’54 Patrician is a great addition to any Packard collection. </div>

The coachbuilder Rollston Body Company began after World War I as a body repair shop in Manhattan and soon expanded into coachbuilding. Rollston bodies appeared on Bugatti, Buick, Cadillac, Chrysler, Cord, Duesenberg, Ford, Hispano-Suiza, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Packard, Peerless, Pierce-Arrow and Rolls Royce.<br />
Rollston's most famous car was this this 1933 Duesenberg Model SJ Arlington Torpedo Sedan "Twenty Grand" – the most expensive Duesenberg ever.<br />
Designed by Gordon Buehrig, the Twenty Grand was built as a show car for the 1933-34 Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago, Illinois, and the finished car's price tag was $20,000,<b> an astronomical amount</b> at the time when the average U.S. physician earned less than $3,000 a year ( by the way - other completed Duesenberg models cost max between $13,000 and $19,000).<br />
<br />
This supercharged Duesenberg with chassis number 2539 and engine J-513.<br />
Chief designer, Gordon Buehrig, designed the "Twenty Grand", adapting several of the earlier coach styles, and the noted coach-builder Rollston Body Company, made the design a reality. With polished stainless steel tubing covering the exposed exhaust pipes, and an aerodynamically slanted windscreen, the luxurious "Twenty Grand" exuded a feeling of speed, as well as grandeur. Its long and sleek lines, uninterrupted by superfluous extravagance, elegantly belied the power that lay under the bonnet—a 320-horsepower supercharged engine that was claimed to have pushed the machine to speeds as high as 130 miles per hour.<br />
The power and elegance that were revealed by the exterior were complemented by the sumptuousness of the interior. The "armchair" type seats were upholstered in broadcloth bounded with silver patent leather. Instrument panels, in the front and back seats, were panelled in two-tone burl walnut with silver inlay.<br />
<br />
The famous ’20 Grand’ 1933 Duesenberg SJ Torpedo Sedan wears a California license plate with its original sales price was restored in 1979 and took top honors at Pebble Beach in 1980.<br />

Model made by GLM Models is authentic to the smallest detail.<br />
Company GLM was founded in 2012 by a group of model car collectors.<br />
Finish of paintwork Posh Champagne Silver and assembly are of the highest possible standard - each worker in GLM factory can only finish 2 cars every day!<br />
The resin body casting is flawless, and the finish is accented with a mix of hand-applied detail castings, photo-etched metal, and sharp tampos. <br />
Out front, the Duesenberg grille, delicate photo-etched hood ornament and set individually-lensed head are very well done, and the photo-etched front window frame look absolute perfect. Interior details include good-looking upholstery and hand-painted wood-grain dash and door panel wood trim, photo-etched control panels, and detailed instruments up front.<br />
Tall whitewall bias-ply tires wrapped around exquisitely etched spoked wheels with finely crafted Duesenberg crests in the centers. Those wheels are probably my favorite feature on the whole model, and give it a feel of quality and completeness that ties the whole piece together.<br />
<br />
It’s a beautiful car, and GLM does a beautiful job presenting in in 1:43. As a model that captures the promise and potential of the pre war period, this Duesenberg has few rivals—if this era appeals to you, this one is worth adding to your collection. But the price of the model is relatively too high, as once was the price of the real car.<br />

<br />
American automobile manufacturer Graham-Paige operated from 1927 to 1962. Like many automotive businesses, Graham-Paige struggled during the Great Depession. It was decided that a substantial and distinctive restyle would increase sales of the faltering brand.<br />
Amos Northup of Murray Corporation (major body supplier to Lincoln, Ford, Reo, Hupmobile, Hudson) was hired to design a new model for 1938. The result was the radically restyled Model 97, which the company dubbed 'Spirit of Motion'. But when the public took one look at the protuberant beak it was immediately dubbed the „Sharknose.“ The new car looked like it was going 60 mph when standing still.The fenders, wheel openings and grille all appeared to be moving forward. Once past the unusual prow, the Sharknose was quite attractive. Everything was rounded off in streamlined <i>Art Deco </i>fashion, and the rear fender was given skirting to make it look even more streamlined.<br />
The 1938 Graham was praised in the American press and by designers. It also won the prestigious Salons D'Elegance in Paris, Lyons, Bordeaux and Marseilles.<br />
The Sharknose was sold in the 1938, 1939 and part of the 1940 model year; less than 8,800 were produced in total.<br />
By comparison, there were over 4,100 Packard Sixes sold in 1938 alone. Over 81,000 Oldsmobiles were produced in '38. In 1939, the debut year for Mercury, over 75,000 examples were made.<br />
At least two 'Spirit of Motion' convertibles were created by European coachbuilders. One, produced by a Belgian shop, <b>Vesters & Neirinck</b>, has been modeled in 1:43 scale by Ixo Models.<br />
This is a beautifully-done roadster '39 Graham-Paige as done in 1/43 by IXO in their Museum Series. Sharknose Grahams are fascinating and attractive cars, and this very neat red model captures the look extremely well.<br />
Dominated by the prominent hood with a forward sweeping nose and a grille that slanted backward, its Sharknose nickname came naturally. The grille is set off by four horizontal chrome strips, the top one continuing to the rear of the car and incorporating the door handles.<br />
For the price, paint and detail work are really impressive; glossy red paint is flawless, every piece of trim is either plated or bright printed chrome. Interior details are all present and correct, too; shift and brake levers, upholstery patterns, and the instrument panel with legible gauges, are all accurate. Don’t miss out.<br />
