I like to put 2 cars together that would have been market competition when new. Although they weren't even close from a sales point of view, I think Pontiac and Edsel held similar places in their respective corporate line-ups:
Here's the Edsel looking more like a Pontiac than the Pontiac, with its split grille:
And they both had "tubes" running down the rear fenders into the taillights:
I think the two look great together and the colors complement each other very well.
Now all I need is Chrysler Corp.'s competitor, which would be a Dodge. The only '60 Dodge convertible I could find is this Polara from Western Models:
I think the lime green would look perfect with the other 2 colors. This model seems hard to find, I searched and couldn't find one for sale anywhere.

Nice comparison. I did not realize Western did a 1960 Polara.

I wasn't aware of the Western convertible either.

I remember this gold Dodge from the previous iteration of Forum43. A guy who worked in the model car industry (Minimarque, Western?) had it. I wish I could remember his name... His copy:

Both of the Brooklin models are very nice. I have them as well. I am on the lookout for the Dodge too. I have Dart Phoenix Hardtop from Madison. I've seen the convertible a couple of times on eBay, they come up from time to time. Good luck in finding one.

I have this lime colored Dodge convertible. Sadly it had extremely fine and delicate wipers which were lost along the way. It still displays nicely though.
