@carsman1958 I am the only one so far to pick the Mercury. I love the slight tail fin and the sleekness of the body lines. Sorry to me the Pontiac just look drab other than the nose.
John; I don't personally find the tail end of the Pontiac drab but I do think that the longer Bonneville treatment is much more attractive.

Pontiac. The Mercury appears to be scowling. Not a nice way to be greeted in the morning, when you open the garage door.

I’ve never much cared for any Mercury ever, to me they are pretty much disfigured Fords. Being that ‘61 is my favorite Ventura, (bubble top please) my vote is in.

I'm a longtime fan of the '61 Pontiac.
Gents, thanks for your replies.
