Went with the Ford in this pairing.  I like the rounded front fenders going down to the bumper and the slight fin at the tail.

The Starliner looks like an over-sized Thunderbird. The Dodge Dart looks like an actual tournament dart! The Dodge promises to get more 'looks' when cruising, the Ford is more conservative of style. Way to go John, another choice dilemma. Oh poo; Ford today!

After a bit of mulling, I’m going for the Ford also.

Ford for the easy win today.

Ford styling this year was so very unique compared to the shoulder years of 1959 and '61, which bore styling evolved/influenced from years before ('57 to '58) and after ('61 to '62).  I always thought it was a fairly good looking car but only came to really appreciate it in the last decade or so; now I really like it and would be happy to own one.  The 1960 Dodge was also a one year styling production but to my eye bore no styling connection to anything else.  It is rather flamboyant yet kind of chunky at the same time and certainly grabs its share of attention, but other than being nice to see at car shows for its individuality it doesn't  grab me.

Actually neither is a design that I would dream about owning but I do like both to a small degree. The Ford by one degree over the Dodge.

Dodge by a large margin! I love this design language on both the Dart line and the full-size Dodge models.

Thanks John,

I do like both but the Ford wins by a huge margin today ! I think it has a more refined style over the Dodge especially with its huge grill and bumper. The Ford's bumper following the fender styling is just one of many design elements that sealed the deal for me.
