Both models were offered for the 1961 model year. Both models were crafted by the Goldvarg Collection and coincidentally, they are in the same colors.
1961 Mercury Monterey Hardtop Coupe
1961 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Holiday Hardtop Coupe

Both are very nice. My preference is the Oldsmobile. I like its design, and is one of those models I probably should have bought. Great pictures.

Is it just me or does that Mercury look very "off" somehow?
(Certainly not your photos, John!)
As a 1:1 it would be a tough choice but as far as these models go, the Olds by a mile!
