Five or so years ago I would have voted for the conservative Chrysler in a second but to my surprise I have come to appreciate the overbite Buick much more.  I always liked the body shape but the grille used to put me off; now I like this 1-year only feature for its uniqueness.  Buick gets the nod this time.

The Buick is much more 'styled' and ready for an admiring public. Plus, we just watched the '49 version in motion in the movie, "Rain Man"; so it gets my vote today.

Buick. The Chrysler is plain.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Both are a bit bulky but overall I prefer the Chrysler.

Not really an interest here, but I gave the nod to the Buick for the Grille.

I didn't have to look at the photos to vote.  As soon as I saw the choices for today, I voted BUICK!  Then looking at the photos, I confirmed my decision.  BUICK without question!

No interest in these. Neither tugs at my heartstrings.

All cars deserve their 15 seconds under the spotlight, even the unexciting ones.

Gents, thanks for your responses.
