As much as I love the Chrysler, the design was getting old, and the tailfins are out-dated. So for '61 I have to choose the Mercury, now if this was '62, it would be Chrysler all the way-those excellent canted headlights and the way better rear styling.

Oh WOW! I do like both cars for different reasons. I like the Mercury because to my eyes in '61 it looked so much better than the Ford that year. And I like the Chrysler because front to back it is simply smooth and fun to look at. So this explanation shared, I VOTED for the CHRYSLER!

Yes, jazzy is the right word. I vote Chrysler.
Neither float my boat, but the Chrysler is my choice.

These are exactly my thoughts too John. Mercury in '61 but Chrysler by miles in '62.
Love the Chrysler.
