Maybe its the skirts on the Chevy, but I just like the Pontiac with its cool nose styling.

I voted Pontiac. I don't care for the mini grille above the main grille on the Chevy and dislike skirts on this car.

I rather like both of these and have trouble deciding if one is preferred. I tie for me this time. Thanks John.

I like both but the Chevy is a bit sportier and more appealing to my eye!

Chevy is alright for a Chevy but, the Pontiac is beautiful, my favorite Pontiac.

I voted for the Chevy.

It must be me, I must be missing something, but I just never understood the consistent, universal LOVE for the '61 Pontiac. I like it just fine but never saw what so many others clearly see that's so exceptional about it.

I voted Pontiac but the Chevy is a very close second.

I give the nod to Pontiac by just a nose.  I have always loved the crisp styling of the '61 Pontiac; especially the grille.  The Impala is a gorgeous car as well.

I like both but the grill, sculptured sides and the 8 lug wheels make the Pontiac the favored one for me.

I couldn't type CHEVY fast enough!  Of all the GM line-up of cars for '61, the Chevy is the only one that I personally like.
