I love the Starfire but the '61 is not my favorite one. That 300, however, rocks! Great color combo too!

Chrysler for me too, but I do like both.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Ha... I woke up early here on West Coast and can't believe that I beat George to this... My choice is that DDG Oldsmobile though I wouldn't kick that Chrysler out of bed for eatin crackers ! It is gorgeous too but somehow that Oldsmobile just has my name written all over it. Thank you and good morning John 👍

Tie, not fond of either one of them.  Fronts are fine but I don't care for the rear view of either.

'61 I would have bought the Pontiac, Ford, or the Mercury.

Which car would have made the greater impression pulling up in front of the swanky Country Club in 1961?

I think the Chrysler has more of that "hey, look at me" presence than the Olds!

Tony, love the rear view of the '62 300 & '62 Starfire.

Barry, I never wanted to stand out in a crowd, but then again I could never afford a swank country club.

The beautiful Chrysler for me.   The Olds is just bland.

For me, an absolute no-brainer!  CHRYSLER!!!  It is the last year for the great fins and it's gorgeous.  The Oldsmobile to my eyes is only a tad better looking than the horribly bland 1960.  Now if we flash forward to 1962 and have a comparison between Chrysler and Oldsmobile, the Oldsmobile wins out by a landside over the neutered (fin-less) Chrysler.  Yup, today give me the CHRYSLER!

That Chrysler was my wedding car in black. Quite an attention getter and my favourite here.

Thank you Tony. Those pics reinforce my choice of the Oldsmobile.

The Chrysler is too over the top for me, I prefer the more conservative Olds.  ✌️

OLDSMOBILE by a mile. Was never a fan of fins and by that time I was sick of them. When they plucked the fins in 62, the Chrysler became a beautiful car in my eyes.
