Chevy a much sharper car.  I’d really like it black with red interior.  The rear speaker and dual antennas is a kick!

I found the Chevrolet to be a refreshing design. My only criticism of it was the heavy distortion in the front windshield, especially on the lower outer edge. Still, I preferred it over the Ford. I have driven both on many occasions.

This was an easy one.  CHEVROLET for '61 hands down.  The Ford styling seemed lost that year, and we'd have wait for the nice looking '62's to be excited again.  Though if the '62 Chevy's and Ford's are also placed together, CHEVY wins that one as well.

These choices are getting difficult, I really like them both. A very, very slight margin to the Impala.

Have nothing against the Chevy but, I absolutely love the '61 Galaxie.  One of my all time favorite car designs. Shame they didn't have an XL interior like maybe the '64 Galaxie 500 XL. It would bolt right in.
