Two of my favorite 1960s cars are available as American Excellence / NEO’s offerings. These are a little past my railroad’s era, but I really like these cars and they will make a nice addition to my 1/43rd collection.
1960 Chrysler 300F hardtop
Vary big, powerful, luxurious, fast and expensive.
1960 Dodge Polara hardtop
I can’t remember the last time I seen one of these. Don’t confuse the ’60 Polara with the. ’60 Dart. The Dart was a similarly styled smaller Plymouth based and less expensive car that competed with Plymouths Fords and Chevys.
These were some of the finest examples of Virgil Exner’s styling. After these, Chrysler Brass started micro managing his styling and things turned out a bit bizarre. After their sales took significant drop and they needed a scapegoat and they forced him into early retirement. Elwood Engel from Ford replaced Exner and Chrysler’s lineup became more conservative.
I learned to drive in a '52 Chevy. I am particularly fond of early 1950s Chevrolets.
Also from American Excellence / NEO
1952 Chevrolet DeLuxe Bel Air hardtop I have one of these in my collection.
