While I prefer the Dodge generally, having driven both, I do however prefer the styling of the Oldsmobile. The Dodge has a firmer ride and better handling which makes it my choice.

This one was easy.  The STARFIRE for me!  Being a life-long Oldsmobile, it's a no-brainer.  The '62 and '63 Starfire's were to die for.

My second favorite Olds, right after the '62 Starfire.  Prefer MOPAR suspensions & drive trains but styling '61 - '64 were ugly to my taste, and Ford & GM styling '61 - '64 were great.

I like them both a lot and will go with the Olds by a nose.  I was a bit disappointed with the '63 Olds styling though, as it was too square compared to be gorgeous '62.  I did love the tail end though. Conversely I was pleased with the big improvement in the '63 Dodge over the previous year.

A vote for the Oldsmobile from this Mopar lover. I do not love this Mopar!

I cast my legal vote for the merry Oldsmobile.  It's interesting that they both have similar rear side window design. 

Gee, I never noticed that....thanks.

BTW, I voted for the Dodge. I usually go for Oldsmobile, but the '63 appears a bit too square.
