While both are similar in concept and the Dodge has a 'cleaner' nose, I have chosen the Pontiac for its superior ride, a little stiffer.

When it comes to cars before 1955, GENERAL MOTORS will more often than not get my vote. That means PONTIAC on this one.

That overly tall and bulbous hoodline on the Pontiac makes it look old-fashioned next to the sleeker looking Dodge...so I pick the Dodge!

I'm all about the Dodge. The Pontiac just looks like a Chevy and the Dodge is something completely different that you do not see very often. In fact I do not believe I have ever laid eyes on one.

The Dodge is a beauty, but the Pontiac is the one I lusted over as a kid and still do.

I love this Era of Pontiac styling; especially its lovely trim. It gets my vote.

I'm not big on either one, but the Pontiac here looks better. It wins.
