With that grille I thought it was an early 60s Pontiac.

yeah, the MY’ 60 Edsel had very slight visual changes. I believe it was also the most rare. Did you know Edsel was originally envisioned as a separate division of FoMoCo. I believe by late ‘57 they already knew they had a dud on their hands but it still took them 3 model years to wind things down. But as you can see from the above article, in late ‘59 they were already done building the ‘60 models.

yup, well aware about Edsel and how bad it was.

So if that’s the last one, what’s the car behind it?

Notice a normal 60 Ford behind it - by MY 60, Edsel was effectively just a trim line. They seem to have high survival rates, I have seen many for sale. Wagons, however, are very rare indeed.
