'60 - '62 are my favorite styling years for Mercury. Today's '61 (especially in that sharp black) is included and gets my vote.

'61 Pontiac is surely a nice-looking car but I've never quite understood the (almost) over-the-top LOVE for it...just my opinion.

The '61 Mercury is much more attractive than I recall, but it does not have the looks and performance to surpass the '61 Pontiac. The Bonneville gets my vote.

Gents, thanks for your responses.
