Two big yachts. Both fancy but the Buick's styling flows longitudinal and latitudinal. I'd set sail in that big puppy on a nice day!

I went with the Mercury, but it was close.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Buick please, the only full-size Buick I like the style of.

Just don't care for the '57 - '60 Mercury. Love the '56 & '61.

I went with the Mercury for its long sleek lines.

Both far too large but I do prefer the Mercury lines in this pairing choice.

An exceedingly close call because I like them both. I pick the Buick at this time. Both are large cars but somehow the Buick looks more trim to my eye.

Mercury for me, I love these taillights:

I like the Merc tailights as well but the Buick overall is stunning! 🤩

For me, it's an instant decision no hesitation... the Buick 👍 Thank-you John 👍

This was a tough one for me!  Of the '60 model year, GM's Buick and Ford's Mercury were, along with Chrysler were the three standout beauties for that year. 

I like Buick because, though it was tweaked some from the '59 classic styling, it kept its basic look, which was regal.

The Mercury was all-new after the '57, '58, and '59 chrome monstrosities, and it oozed with richness.  Sadly, it would be the last Mercury to have its own body look for quite sometime. 

And I mention the Chrysler because the '60 with its perfect fins and those boomerang taillights just garnered attention. 

The end result for today's "Which One?" is I vote a rare TIE.

Mercury styling by a very narrow margin.  Both are beautiful cars.
