Automobiles/ Trucks 1/43-1/50 scale let’s see them

Not sure how many guys here collect Brooklin automobiles, but if you’re interested, there will be a new, North American based Brooklin Collectors Club to be directly affiliated with the Brooklin factory in U.K.

Besides having an already great selection of period cars for many of our modeling interests’/years, we will/should have a direct ear to the factory for what is needed in for the North American market.

If interested, just reply to this post and when official information becomes available, we can just add on to this thread… or start a new one.

Charlie, sounds like a plan'... makes good sense'... Let's hope it happens'...

Thanks Charlie for posting there are some Brooklin collectors on here I’m sure

I look for Brooklins modeling 1940 and prior, and even sent them an email suggesting they do 1933 and 1934 Hupmobile models, as wildly different, and different from each other.  Got a response (noncommittal).  There were a large number of auto makes in the steam era much of the population never heard of, but one many have was Auburn, that l should have also suggested.  I have seen a  photo of a Auburn waiting at a Rio Grande Southern (the Galloping Goose road) in the period.

I would like to check out Brooklyn cars as well.

I used to like the looks of Brooklins till Neo and Whitebox and others came along with better details but Brooklins are still a classic. For Truck Models you guys need to check out DeHanes models (no longer in business) there 1/55 scale but if you like collecting there nice just off scale

I have to admit, that I never heard of the name before, but I have seen images of this classic design. I guess I just assumed it was some part of one of the big names today.

I would be interested in these as well.

My personal compass has shifted a bit toward to small utility trucks, delivery vans etc. I have enough "nice" cars, but now I need more "working" cars and small trucks.

Here’s a few pics I took this morning.

Great selection of vehicles, Lee. Like your first photo, especially, as my first cat was a ‘56 Dodge Custom Royale in re, white, and black!

These are GREAT photos! I am not an automobile/truck fanatic, so, please bear with my rookie questions. I love the look of the car in the first photo. What is the make, model, year and where is this vehicle available for purchase? I would also like the same information for the tractors and trailers in photos 2 & 3.

Thank you.

Thanks Artie for the complement I like those mid to late 50s Dodge cars.

Lee and Randy,

1939 Cadillac Fleetwood V8 limousine made by IXO White Box.

I want to thank Lee Drennen for helping me find that 1939 car last year on ebay. It is a real beauty.
