The Merc is adorable with its mini-fins; I've always liked it. But, please, that Poncho turns me on! Look at them thar wheels! Ooo-Eee! Bonneville all day long!
Mercury from '60 through '62 was at its best in my eyes. The '61 gets my vote today.
You reminded me of what a great product Mercury offered through the 60s. IMHO there wasn't an unattractive Mercury (or Comet for that matter) made in that decade. My fave Mercury was the '63 Marauder; fave Comet was the '64 Cyclone or Caliente.
For me there is no comparison, it's the Poncho 101% ! I want to be the young man strutting about town in that Pontiac. I don't want to look like a little old bank employee piloting around in that Merc.
