In 2017 Brooklin issued the 1947 Chrysler Windsor Town & Country Wood-Bodied Sedan, BML 14. It was issued in Royal Maroon.
Now the 1:1 is an amazing and very rare car. One I've never seen in person in this year. I wasted no time in acquiring one of these new models right when it was issued.
In 2019, Brooklin reissued the model in Black. I wasn't aware of its release right away, when I found out, it was out-of-stock. It took another year for me to get my hands on one in this color.
So, in 2021 Brooklin is introducing a new line of models, The NB Center Collection. A set of six highly detailed models to start out. In that set is the Town & Country in black once again. Now what's a collector to do? I already have this wonderful model and the thought of another in the same color was not adding up for me. Why? I asked myself.
Well, here I am at the event which was held at the NB Center in Allentown, PA to introduce the new models. That was a heck of a weekend, and the models were... SO amazing! I couldn't resist getting caught up in the excitement, and for the trip home... Well, all six of these beauties were tucked away safely in my trunk.
Now I am home, and while I am thrilled with my purchase, I was unsure of what to do with the original T&C in black. As a rule, I don't collect models of the same color unless they are distinctively different. I thought about selling the original, but that just didn't seem right for a model I really liked. I had already taken the 1st version of the 1940 Lincoln Zephyr and put black wall tires on it, that gave the model a new look (more on that later) so I used the same idea for the T&C, here's what I came up with...
1947 Chrysler Town & Country Wood-Bodied Sedan, BML-14a w/Black wall tires
Here's the new NB Center release, NBC-14
and the two together...
