I'm very attached to the Mercury Park Lane. Love the styling and ride. Too much fin for the Buick for a 1960.

I like the tail light treatment on the Merc and Merc overall.   That is a fabulous color combo on the Buick.

I prefer the more conservative and squarish design of the Mercury.  I do like the Buick though and enjoy seeing them at shows, but I wouldn't want to own one.  I like the '61 Buick much more.

This was actually tougher than I thought, as both cars for 1960 are real favorites.  I love the that the Mercury is still a Mercury and NOT a Ford look-a-like and the taillight treatment on it, are probably most beautiful of any other 1960 car.  HOWEVER, the BUICK edges out the Mercury for me.  The '59 and '60 Buick's are real-life Batmobiles in my opinion.

Made up my mind .... what's left of it .... in seconds ! BUICK 

Absolutely DDG, IMO, over the Merc. Merc looks like an old man's car whereas the Buick is more avant garde. Just M.O. no offense to anyone. If you disagree just slap me in the face LOL.

I like the Mercury but the color combo on the Buick stole my vote!

'60 Buick, the only full-size Buick I actually like.

The Mercury is nice but no way it can compete with the Buick.
