I very much prefer the shoulder years of the Pontiac but still like this one far more than the overwrought Dodge.  The Pontiac has much cleaner, trimmer styling; perhaps conservative to a fault but still more attractive.

I agree with you Jack.

I voted tie. I like both.  The overdoneness of the Dodge is sweet.  The sleekness of the wide tracking Pontiac is excellent.

The 1960 Pontiac was always a huge disappointment to me. Compared with the '59 it looked like they had rediscovered a fondness for the old bulky, bluff-fronted GM look. No thanks.

Yes the Dodge has some quite trashy-looking detailing but there is a liveliness to its looks that is sadly lacking in the heavy-handed Pontiac, so it gets my vote.

I have always loved both. The Dodge for it's over the top styling, and the Pontiac for it's sleek looks.💯😊

Pontiac please. The Dodge is only all right while the Pontiac is nice and simply clean.

The plain Pontiac for 1960 just never got me excited. Actually, I never cared for the 1960 Dodge either but today I would much rather arrive at a cars and coffee event in the Dodge. I guarantee the Dodge would draw a crowd while the Pontiac might draw a yawn.

Finally! An easy one for me. The 60-62 dodges never really settled for me. The 2-door hardtops had elegant rooflines and gorgeous interiors. However, the design doesn't quite gel with my eyes. It seems too busy up front, and my mind doesn't know what to do with the abbreviated fins. I find myself stopping as I try to take in the lines. The Pontiac has a more cohesive design, allowing the eye to move freely along its lines.

An easy one for me today.  DODGE!  Yes, it's over the top with chrome, fins, and curves, but it makes a statement when it arrives to a car show.  While the Pontiac is completely "ho-hum" after its gorgeous '59.

I took the Pontiac as well.  The Dodge just has too much going on.
