For me it is the Pontiac Bonneville followed by the Mercury and finally, the Dodge.

Clear win for the Pontiac for me. The other two are tied.

For me, it's MERCURY, then Dodge, followed by the Pontiac.  Choosing the Mercury as best is odd, because I hate the styling of the '61 Ford, which in '61 the Mercury was back to resembling a Ford.  I like the Dodge a lot, and the Pontiac does absolutely nothing for my eyes.

Pontiac is the clear winner.  Mercury is a strong second and Dodge a very distant third.

@jack-dodds I agree with you Jack.  The Pontiac just stands out above the crowd.

For me, the Dodge is very nice but looks backward for inspiration. The Mercury is classy and modern. But, the Pontiac sets the tone for the sixties.
