I'm sure I'm not alone in making an effort to place cars on the display shelves that blend together well. I take into account the make, the year, and the color, and especially like putting cars that were direct market competitors next to each other.

Here's a particularly good example:

20230506 112650
20230506 112715
20230506 112749

A '55/'56 Mercury sedan would fit perfectly but alas Brooklin never made one.

Show some of your well thought-out shelf mates!

If you are willing to accept a 1955 Mercury 2 door sedan, NEO did one in light blue with a white roof.

Its now my turn. The first picture shows three pony cars; a 1970 Javelin from Boss, 1970 Baracuda from Boss, and the ElMo 1968 Mustang.

The second is my favorite grouping, three Pontiac Bonneville convertibles; a red 1959 from Madison, a white 1957 from WMCE, and a two-tone turquoise 1958 from Conquest.

IMG 3813

The third is a bit different.  It includes a 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk from Conquest and a P-36 Hawk from Carousel1. The plane is 1/48 scale and has the markings of one of the US planes which engaged the Japanese aircraft attacking Pearl Harbor.

@jcarnutz Love the 3 '61 Mopars, John, add a '61 Imperial 4-dr. HT to that group!

@ed-davis Love the three Pontiacs, Ed! 

Even though it's a Catalina, Brooklin's '60 convertible would fit in well.

@frank The contrast betwwen the colors and body styles on those Lincoln Zephyrs make for a great match-up!

Here's another set of shelf-mates...in this case contrasting differences rather than similarities!
