Now see, this one is easy. The MERCURY is the winner hands down. I like both cars a lot, but in comparison, the Pontiac is extremely dated looking.
And here is a little known TRIVIA FACT about the Mercury. In the 1948-49 BATMAN MOVIE SERIAL, Bruce Wayne drove a 49 Mercury Convertible. When he had to change to his alter-ego BATMAN, he would put the top up on the car and change. Pre-Batmobile for sure.

My heart says Pontiac but my eye says the Merc.
Agree!
