Both lookers - Chrysler for that exceptional front end!

Chrysler 300 for the easy win; it is my favorite Chrysler of its decade.  I quite liked the tail fins on the 1960, but much less so on the '61, so when the fins were deleted for '62 and those awesome looking tail lights were added, IMO it looked fantastic.

OUCH!  Chrysler LOST MY VOTE due to the beautiful fins being plucked off.  BUICK for me by a landside!

Buick styling for '62 was attractive but rather sedate. Chrysler did a low-budget restyle for '62, leaving the fins behind literally and figuratively, and the result was splendid! It gets my vote.

Another vote for the Chrysler for reasons already stated. "...rather sedate..." strikes me as understatement for the Buick.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I agree with all the comments above.  The slanted lights won me right away.  Chrysler today!

I never realized how beautiful the 300 was until they amputated the fins. I like it with the fins, but the missing fins cleaned it up and displayed the long, sleek lines like never before.  That being said, I like the Buick as well. My vote goes to the Chrysler for that amazing dash!

The '62 Buick was a letdown after the gorgeous '61. It's the Chrysler for me without a doubt.

Chrysler please. Beautiful impressive car. My father in loa had this and I enjoyed a few trips from Canada to Florida travelling in it. Loved the rear end treatment, grill and instrumentation.
