Pontiac...why does the GM always come with stock hubcaps- which is ok with me - but Chrysler products always have wires - i dont know where these originated - but very few cars in the day had wire wheels for any domestic - maybe Cleveland was a hubcap kind of town....lol
The front of the Pontiac looked a lot better in states without front plates. Take that dealer plate off and, VOILA - a lot better. I'll never understand the need for front plates, or the people that leave dealer ads or empty plate holders on cars in states that don't have front plates.
Ron, Tuesday's Buick had wires.
That's a no brainer, the Pontiac.
i know - i just feel bad cuz my cars always lose....lol - it seems chrysler products always have these glamour poses while GM's look like they should be sitting in a grocery store parking lot...
Dodge for me. But, I like the Pontiac too.
Ron, I see you noticed that too. LOL.

Dodge for looks - even though I'm a GM man !!!
I like the Pontiac better, but want DM to do the Dodge.

Ronald, I feel the same way......
Instinctively I would have chosen Pontiac. I do believe, considering the two images provided, the Dodge in the pic has the distinct advantage since it has a much more attractive color combo and of course it has the wire wheels. So I vote for the pic of the Dodge as being the more attractive of the two images provided. Of course, I would love to have the Dodge in 1:24 too.

Agree Wholeheartedly Steve
When I lived in Florida, I saw so much garbage on the front plate holders to include old license plates from the owners original home state and all kinds of other creative and standard stuff like "You should see my Grandkids". Yeah, right! Having an out of state plate on the front was illegal. I removed the plate holders entirely and it really made a difference in the way the front looked, especially with the older Grand Marquis(late 80's/early 90's, where the plate was offset to the drivers side of the front bumper, which was "chrome".
The Dodge by a mile. Tasteful tri-tone, wire wheels and that "Hundred Million Dollar Look"!
Dodge.
It's been said that Marlowe goes to the old spokes home.
