@jkuvakas Well....ummm....yes I did JK, but with one qualifier........

"....(Chrysler) versus innovative/sensational/unique (Buick).  The pleasant and crisply styled Chrysler can only be called conservative when compared to the rather radical Buick."

conservative /kən-sûr′və-tĭv/
 

adjective

  1. Favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change.
  2. Traditional or restrained in style.
    "a conservative dark suit."
  3. Moderate; cautious.
    "a conservative estimate."

My take for this Chrysler conservative = boring, dull, unexciting...take your pick. Smile

Bad memories about the Buick. I got a concussion entering the rear when I misjudged just how low the entry was. The Chrysler was to me a much more elegant and safer car.

I hate that happened to you David. I read before where you posted this some time back. Yeah, that would do it for me too - the H**L with THAT car! Oh man, that hurts; I can feel it from here (retroactively! Sweaty )

I never rode in either car, but I always liked the canted headlights and grille on the Buick as far as styling goes.  The Chrysler had the notable sweeping fins, but the front end never seemed that attractive to me.

Buick.  The 59 is my all time favorite.
