The CRYSLER by a landslide!  GM's styling line-up for '61 wasn't (in my opinion) their best.  And the Continental?  I'll walk right past one every time without giving it even the slightest bit of attention.

I set aside the class of car stuff and just went by styling appearance.  Pontiac, Lincoln, Chrysler.

Chrysler, Continental, Pontiac.

I know I'm in the minority here but I just don't get the near-universal extreme love for the '61 Pontiac. I must be missing something that most everyone else seems to see...

I love the Pontiac, but the Continental is a top 5 postwar American car. It wins by a light year, even if no doubt the Pontiac would be easier to live with.

LOL, amazing how we're so different.  With the exception of Chevy, I thought GM's '61 line-up was odd looking in every way with their "pointy" fenders and "curvy" bumpers.  Love 'ya man!  Smile

I'd pick the Pontiac in just about any comparison, but with the Lincoln, I have to pick it 1st. The Lincoln is one of the most beautiful cars ever (for me at least) I'll then go with Pontiac followed by the Chrysler.
