Oh my John; you're brutal in these decisions! I actually like the looks of the Dodge better - but I perceive the Pontiac to be a better overall car. And as a Streamliner, I'm picking it!

*EDIT to show other sides of the cars.

I would be thrilled to have either in my garage but have to settle for each in 1/43 scale. By the smallest of margins, Pontiac.

DODGE please.  I hate the fastbacks on the GM full-size cars.

I have tried my very best to avoid voting a tie on these two cars but just cannot get there.  I love both designs equally.

John does go for controversial choices. I could go either way here but today, that 

Pontiac fastback.

I have no interest in these two.  I do not car for the bump out wheel wells.

John, you must be a youngster...the cars of the '40s are what got me hooked on cars. I looked look out the window of our 4th floor apartment on the Lower East Side and marveled when the cars with the fat fenders drove by.

@sizedoesmatter Being born in the 50's, I guess I could fall into the younger group of this forum.

A longtime Pontiac fan voting for the Dodge for its clean and smooth flowing lines...all that's missing on the Pontiac is the kitchen sink.

Gents thanks for your pics and responses.
