'61 Chrysler or Oldsmobile?

Especially from this angle - the Chrysler's "fins" look MUCH better than the Olds's "skegs"!

The question for this one is, how fast could I type CHRYSLER? I was a fan of the fins and Chryslers were still spectacular. Now move to the next year of '62 and offer the same two cars for "Which One?" and my answer would be reversed, as I think the '62 Oldsmobile is perfect. It was tweaked enough from '61 to be my favorite car of the early 60's.

This is as close as I've come to voting "tie." Both cars are gorgeous, both have killer interiors, both were fast for their day, big, bold, and comfortable. For me, the Olds gently nudges out the 300.

It's fins may be an anachronism but the Chrysler has serious presence. It wins.
Thanks again for these thought provoking and fun polls!
