Pontiac please. Nice clean lines even if I do miss a split grille.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I prefer the styling of the Mercury.  The shoulder years of the Pontiac are much better looking.

Two gorgeous giant '60 convertibles. Either one would be the way to cruise around on a summer's day !

I voted no interest.  I like the front of both cars, but I dislike the rear of both cars.

The Park Lane for me although those eight lugs look great.

The long look and the smiling face of the Mercury.

Pontiac nicely thinned down from the 1959 which was also nice.  The Mercury is a little boxy.  I don’t like Mercury’s taillights.

OMG!  The Pontiac getting many votes here, I have to admit, I'm surprised.  I honestly thought looking at this "Which One?" today, that the result would be the other way. 

When I looked at the choice, I immediately blurted out MERCURY!  And yes, I voted for the MERCURY! 

For the 1960 model year for the Big Three, there are only 3 cars, 1 from each company, that I think are styling marvels.  For GM it's Buick, For Chrysler Corp. it's Chrysler, and then for Ford Motor Co. it's MERCURY.   The '60 Mercury lines are smoother, more straight, with no quirky bulges like on the '59. 

The taillights on the MERCURY are literally to die for, as they are drop-dead gorgeous (as are the taillights on the '60 Chrysler). 

For me, the '60 Pontiac was a huge disappointment after the incredibly good looking '59.  So guys, this "Which One?" was a no-brainer.  MERCURY!

I’d be thrilled to have either. The tail end of the Mercury is awesome and overall the Pontiac is still gorgeous, but not as appealing as the ‘59. The Mercury is a very rare car and overall looks to be the best to me.
