I seem to be stuck on Pontiac this last while. Those wheel covers make the Mercury seem back heavy.

Mercury.  I like the mini fin and the grille just makes this stand out.

Mercury for me. I have always liked the 60 Mercs.

I am a life long Pontiac fan but 1960 was not one of its best design years; I like it but don't  love it like I do the shoulder years.  I have always loved the rather unique design of the '60 Mercury, with its unusual headlight placement and rear quarter panel/tail light design; IMHO it was a huge improvement over the very unattractive '59.  Mercury get the nod today.

Not a fan of either of them, but don't dislike either of them, either. Pontiac please.

The MERCURY by a mile for me for 1960.  Now if it were the '59's between these two, the Pontiac would win by a mile.

Mercury for me today - I just love those '60 taillights.

I also do like the Pontiac very much, but not as much as the '59, though.

I like the Pontiac a bit more but those Mercury tailights are very cool.  😎✌️

For 1960, it's the MERCURY by a mile.  If it were 1959, it would be the Pontiac by the same mile.

The '60 Mercury was never a contender...Pontiac all the way.
