Omy goodness! I like both just about as well. Wire wheels, Olds. At a place of worship, Olds.

Olds for me as well. I'm just not fond of this era of Chryslers.

IMO both are a let down from the previous year offerings. Oldsmobile for being less of a let down.

Never cared  for the '63 - '64 Chrysler but, loved the '62 - '64 Oldsmobile. I would not be able to choose between the '62 Olds Starfire and the '62 Chrysler 300. '63 Olds today.

Olds.  I've never warmed to the 63/64 Chryslers.

The Oldsmobile wire wheels caught my attention but I still went for the Chrysler 300.

I voted a tie. I’m not to crazy about that year Chrysler but loyal to the brand.  I do like the Olds a bit more

My thoughts as well Bob.  The '62 Chrysler and Oldsmobile were IMHO their marque's best styling of the 60s decade.  The '63 and '64 Chryslers were average looking at best and very uninspiring.  The '63 Olds was boxier/squarish compared to the '62 and lacked its flair.

...I'm aware that many never really cared for 1963-'64 Chryslers, but I've always had a soft spot for them.   So.... today it's "Chrysler!"      😀 😀 😀

Not an easy one for me today.  I like both for different reasons. 

First the Chrysler, I think it was a beauty on wheels after the disappointing defrocked '62.  And I owned a '63!  To this day, I recall it as being one of the smoothest riding and most comfortable cars I've ever driven.  I loved it. 

As for the Oldsmobile, though it was a little less perfect from the '62, for me it was still an Oldsmobile.  I owned a '62 Starfire and a '63 Dynamic 88, both are in my personal Top Three cars I've owned, the '63 Chrysler being the other one. 

So, today I vote a TIE today.
