Another great pairing. To my eye, the Electra looks leaner and more nimble while offering an interior that equals or even betters the New Yorker. Buick gets my vote on this one.

Interesting pairing with my choice going to the Chrysler while trying to ignore those slightly outdated wings.

By 1961 the fin era was old news and a new trimmer look was evolving, with a few exceptions  One such exception was the Chrysler design which, although still very attractive, looked passe compared to this Buick styling and that of many others.  I voted Buick this time, however in 1962 I would vote for the trimmed down Chrysler.

The Angled headlights makes it stand out, so my pick is the Chrysler.

Buick over the Chrysler '60 & '61. 1959 & 1962 Would be the Chrysler

This one was easy.  I voted before I even looked at the photos of the cars.  CHRYSLER for me!  It is an absolute knock out!  The Buick with its "pointy" front fenders is a real turnoff for me.

It took me a long time to decide how to vote. Chrysler vs. Buick is always a tough choice for me. These are both beautiful but very different!

My policy is, all ties go to the Mopar. So today's vote goes to the Chrysler but it's virtually a dead heat.
