In this instance, I prefer the Grand Prix despite the very attractive side profile of the Starfire.

'62 my all time favorite Olds and I do like the '63.  Pontiac would be '61 &'64.  They are all nice in this time period '60 to '71.

Seriously?  No-Contest for me.  OLDSMOBILE STARFIRE by a landside!  And even if I hadn't owned one, I'd vote for the Starfire.  It is the most gorgeous Oldsmobile of the Sixties and the best looking car from any of the Big Three for 1962.  Does that tell you I like the Starfire?  Smile

Oldsmobile, for sure!  1962, the best looking full-size Oldsmobile ever produced, especially in Starfire trim.  Of course, that's just my opinion...

A tough one. I think I'd go for the Pontiac but only because it is a bit more scarce.

The Pontiac for me. I find the Olds too busy looking with all that trim.

I usually go with the bling, but this time it's the unadorned but stylish Grand Prix that gets my vote.
