Manufacturer: Brooklin Models Ltd, England PRODUCT INFORMATION1951 marked the high point for Hudson’s classic ‘stepdown’ design. Conceived in the mid 1940s by Frank Spring and Reid Railton the design was at first rejected by Hudson’s President Barit who later changed his mind after trying a prototype and reportedly ordered it into production for the 1948 model year. The car’s low sleek lines were reminiscent of Railton’s designs for John Cobb’s Railton Mobil Special land speed record car and the style of construction was named ‘monobuilt’ by Hudson. Heavy handwork model made of white metal with many chrome parts made in England. Each Brooklin model is carefully handcrafted from many individual parts. Danger! Collector's model, not suitable for children under the age of 14 Brief history of Brooklin Models Ltd: Just under 50 years ago there was a small revolution in the world of model vehicles. This was the dawn of new era. Many fledgling companies sprang up making models of historic vehicles from white metal, a material long coveted in the world of model militaria. Standards varied widely and with very few exceptions all makers offered their models as kits. As time progressed many makers fell by the wayside until today very few survive. Brooklin is one of those exceptions, producing handmade models since 1974, few kits but mostly fully built and ready to display. With a focus on American automotive history between the 1930’s and the 1960’s we have modelled amongst others such Milestone cars as the 1930 Ford Model A Coupe, 1934 Chrysler Airflow and the 1948 Tucker, as well as some unusual cars such as the 1936 Stout Scarab and the 1938 Phantom Corsair. In the future, we would love to test models beyond the 1960's. Brooklin Models Limited is currently the world’s leading manufacturer of 1/43 scale hand-built white metal models.
