I love the crazy Mercury, but I voted Buick for its more cohesive design.

Edit: Pretty beats weird.

Buick. THAT model. THAT color. Take it anywhere and be prepared to answer lots of adoring questions.

John, you magnificent maniac - I love you.

Sort of different way I voted today.  I like both cars, so decided to flip a coin.  Heads it was Buick, Tails it was Mercury.  The coin came up Tails, so Mercury is my choice today.

I’m not flipping over these choices, George, but I do prefer the Mercury.

I love the Turnpike Cruiser - especially in this colourway. But the sheer class of the Buick wins the day.

A really tough decision for me. I love the wacky Mercury but the clean lines of the Buick make it my pick. I still can't believe what they did to the Buick the following year.

Love both, the TPC for its Jetson tomorrow-land styling and the Super for its tradition stately good looks.  Bottom line, it's the Buick for me.

Buick for the easy win.  I loved its comparatively outdated styling but this era of Mercury never grabbed me at all.
