Both are nice but represent different segments of the market.. In this case

I have to go with the Corvette.

I'm well aware these represent different market segments. They were both refreshing and innovative..

designs from GM for 1963. For me, this is the basis for the comparison.

Buick Riviera! Hard to compare two very different market segments.

Your're right. And both had an impact on car designs for years to come.

Difficult to directly compare these two; however I'll take the keys to the 'Vette.

Well, if they were both refreshing and innovative I - still have to chose the Riviera.

Two outstanding offerings from GM for 1963. The Corvette if I had to pick one.
