Both nice but I am more partial to the Chevy!

The Chevy is fun, but the Pontiac is beautiful. It wins for me.

The older I get, the more I like the Chevy. They're both gorgeous, but my vote goes to the Chevy.

Great comparo once again John!  I give the nod to the Pontiac styling by a pug nose....love them both.

Not a very flattering pic of the Pontiac, makes it look quite dull, with an excessive front bumper, but in reality it's a pretty car with one of the greatest "nose jobs" of all time.

pontiac '59

Chevy is iconic for its wild looks although I find its styling a bit disjointed front to rear but it's still outrageous fun.

Probably a tie for me on this showing, although if I had to have just one I'd maybe lean towards the Chevy as a symbol of those crazy times.

Well, you all now my love for Pontiacs, so this is an easy one. But I still like the Chevy too.😊

@graeme-ogg I love the nose/grille design of the '59 Pontiac; it has an aggressive, somewhat sinister look to it.  I prefer the tail design as well; both Catalina and Bonneville versions.

The Pontiac is nice, but not as nice as the Chevrolet.

Gents, thanks for your responses!

@whodeytink 

Would that be a "wide track" margin ? 👍
