Both are beautiful automobiles and were certainly the height of "personal luxury" cars in 1962. When I was a kid, I had a 1/25 promo of the '62 Chrysler and I currently have a gorgeous 1/18 diecast of the 1962 Thunderbird from Welly.

I like the vast majority of Chrysler 300 letter cars - a LOT! But the T-Bird with the sports roadster hard tonneau makes it something really special. For me, it's the Black Bird for my taste today John!

Thunderbird for me. I love its looks.

The 62 Chryslers without their fins are favorites of mine but up against a Sports Roadster the T-Bird wins. Nice comparison John.

The '62 Chrysler 300 is my all time favorite Chrysler and I would choose it over a T-bird hardtop, but the roadster, I choose over the Chrysler.  Thunder chicken today's pick.

I choose the Chrysler here. One of my favourites. The Thunderbird is OK but I would not have bought it at the time. I like it slightly better today but not as much as the 300H.

Though I'm not a fan of Chrysler's NO FIN '62.  I love the grill, the slanted headlights, the shape of the windshield and wing windows, and most importantly, the Dashboard.  CHRYSLER with a landside win!

This is a nice match-up, but it's no contest for me. Those Bullet Birds were some of my favorites. Throw on a tonneau, and I get weak in the knees.

I like them both but the Chrysler's more imposing size gives it a greater "presence" so it gets my vote today.

Going with the T-Bird but I also like the 300.
