I’m going with Tony on this one. I like them equally.

This is a great comparison and for me about as close to a tie as it gets; but being a huge Pontiac fan I give it the nod by an Indian head.

I like the Dodge's square jawed looks. I like its livery too. It wins for me.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I'm with you, Ed, and your "square-jawed" description is perfect! Dodge for me too.

Dodge, because I owned one. Dislike the GM fastbacks of the period and the Dodge just looks better to me.

DODGE for me!  Looks sportier with that roofline and the color fits it perfectly.

@moe-parr I'm with you Barry. I have always liked the grill on the Dodge and while I also like the Pontiac, the Dodge gets my vote.

These are two good looking cars for their time.   But.....I have always really liked the appearance of the torpedo bodies on the Pontiacs.  Considering also the 'Chief' hood ornament that must be among the best ever, and my vote goes to the Pontiac.

Love both because of the styling and for sentimental reasons. Today it's the Dodge that gets my vote.
