Your photos are great! 

I got this '60 Chevrolet from Franklin Mint and returned it because it lacked the interior detail that I felt an expensive diecast should have.  There is no headliner in the car and it looks similar to the plastic promo models I had as a kid.  I just didn't feel it was one of Franklin's best efforts. 

It does look good next to the red '60 convertible though!  They compliment each other well.

Very nice. Gr8 color combo.  I got the Ermine White version from FM way back when and can remember being quite disappointed that it had a six and not a V8.  I had not noticed that in the ad.  Still, it was a nice model.  It got damaged in a move ten years ago so I tossed it.  A few years back, I replaced it with a used DM Suntan Copper version.
