A new four-parameter class of exact solutions of Einstein's field equations is obtained, using the inverse scattering method of Belinsky and Zakharov. Its members represent the head-on collision of a variably polarized gravitational plane wave with one having constant polarization and, in general, different profile, or with an infinitely thin shell of null dust. In some of these models no curvature singularity develops along the future boundary of the region of interaction. In certain cases the singularity avoidance is the direct result of the noncollinear polarization of the waves involved in the collision.
