Polarizing Polara - 1960 Dodge - This is a car you either love or hate (pics) 1960 Dodge Polara from NEO in Cactus Poly. The actual color is lighter than this - had trouble getting it right in the camera. Anyway, I happen to really like the design of this car while I know many can't stand it.

Interesting color. I have the white version issued a few years ago. I'll stick with that one.

Very good pics and color representation Mark. It makes the model look real. I still hate the color.

That color and similar variations to me are about the ugliest ever sprayed on cars.

Yikes, I need to fix the pics - the colors are way too bright. Will work on that.

I love these early '60 Mopars. This colour would appear on refrigerators all over NA in a few years!

OK, pics are updated with colors corrected. It looked pretty wild before.

Great pictures, Mike, and I love those '60's Chrysler cars.

They bring back great memories of my youth and when car deigns changed each year and there was some excitement each year as the new models were introduced. Now you can hardly tell a Mercedes from a Hyundai and half the U.S. nameplates are gone or made in Korea or Mexico and the foreign nameplates are assembled in the U.S.

I always liked it. First one I ever saw was a new one being driven by my homeroom teacher

It was white, and I still think it looks the best in that color! But probably just because it is the way I first saw it.
